Yes — many ESG/sustainability reporting platforms are built to integrate with existing business systems (ERP, accounting, HR, procurement, travel & expense, cloud providers, GRC tools, etc.). Below are well-known vendors that advertise connectors, APIs or “integration hubs” to pull data from enterprise systems, plus a short note on typical integration points and how to choose.
Recommended platforms (with typical integrations)
- Persefoni — carbon accounting platform with an Integration Hub that connects to systems such as SAP Concur, NetSuite, Expensify, TripActions, Coupa, AWS and more to ingest activity data for Scope 1–3 calculations. (persefoni.com)
- Workiva — enterprise reporting platform used for ESG and regulatory disclosures; integrates with ERP/accounting and other data sources to provide a single source of truth for disclosures. (5ly.co)
- OneTrust (OneTrust ESG) — extends OneTrust’s trust/GRC stack to ESG, with APIs and integrations into Vendorpedia (third‑party risk), GRC, privacy and other OneTrust modules; offers carbon-management APIs. (onetrust.com)
- Enablon (Wolters Kluwer) — long-established EHS/ESG platform with connectors for ERP, facilities, and operational systems (commonly used in heavy industry/energy). (See vendor product pages for connector lists.) (onetrust.com)
- FigBytes — ESG data platform that maps ESG metrics to business units and systems (ERP, HR, facilities data) and supports multi-framework reporting. (breatheesg.com)
- Novisto — sustainability “system of record” designed to centralize ESG data and integrate with financial and operational systems; positioned for enterprise reporting. (businessinsider.com)
- Sphera / Intelex / Diligent — enterprise-grade EHS & governance vendors that now offer broader ESG modules and integration capabilities with ERP, asset/facilities systems, and HR/payroll. (Integration specifics vary by vendor.) (5ly.co)
- EcoVadis (and data providers like MSCI, CDP aggregators) — not classic integrators but often offer APIs and data feeds to combine third‑party/supplier ratings into procurement and supplier-risk systems. (breatheesg.com)
Common integration points
- Finance / ERP (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite) — for spend, procurement, invoicing, asset registers (useful for Scope 3 and financed emissions). (persefoni.com)
- Travel & expense systems (Concur, TripActions, Expensify) — frequent source for travel-related Scope 3 emissions. (persefoni.com)
- HR / payroll systems — headcount, diversity, benefits and health/safety metrics mapping to social indicators. (breatheesg.com)
- IoT / building / utility meters — facilities energy, fuel and emissions (often via direct APIs or middleware). (persefoni.com)
- Cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) — cloud consumption and associated emissions data via provider APIs. (persefoni.com)
- Procurement / supplier platforms (Coupa, Ariba) and vendor risk tools — supplier data and third‑party ESG risk. (persefoni.com)
How to choose a tool (quick checklist)
- Integration coverage: confirm connectors for your core systems (SAP/Oracle/NetSuite, T&E, procurement, meter/IoT). Vendors often publish connector lists or provide an “integration hub.” (persefoni.com)
- Data model & auditability: look for an auditable system of record (versioning, lineage, mapping to frameworks like GRI/TCFD/CSRD). (5ly.co)
- Framework support & exports: ensure the tool maps to the disclosure frameworks and regulators you must report to. (5ly.co)
- APIs & workflow automation: APIs and scheduled data pulls lower manual work and support continuous reporting. (developer.onetrust.com)
- Security & governance: enterprise SSO, role-based access, and controls — especially important if connecting financial systems. (onetrust.com)
If you want, I can:
- shortlist 3–4 vendors that best match your current systems (tell me which ERP/T&E/HR/procurement systems you use), or
- prepare a simple RFP checklist of integration and technical questions to send to vendors.
Which would you prefer?
