About

At Dataphoria, we redefine sustainability transition with data. We are building a data-driven solution for companies and cities to measure, optimize and communicate their ESG performance, in a personalized and compelling way. We do this by leveraging the Analytics-as-a-Service framework for sustainability, for the first time. Instead of software, we have built data engineering, analytics and visualization solutions, focused around sustainability. As such we can connect to any data system (ERP, tracking spreadsheets, custom forms), mine the ESG data we need, clean it, transform it and visualize it. And once we’ve done this one time, we setup a data pipeline to automatically refresh the data from the original data sources every month.

Solution & Product

An analytics-as-a-Service platform dedicated to sustainability; The whole process revolves around three stages: ETL & ESG data integration First, we connect to the client’s systems, creating a data pipeline that cleans, transforms and feeds the processed data into our cloud infrastructure. This can happen through a series of ways: Mining the information from ERP systems, ingesting company-specific tracking spreadsheets, or using self-serve forms for information that is not otherwise available. ESG data analysis Then, the most suitable tools are chosen from our toolkit: Pre-built data warehousing practices, proprietary analytics and visualization algorithms, tailored towards sustainability. These are put together into a data solution fit to the client’s requirements. Carbon footprint is calculated, along with various required KPIs from well-known ESG frameworks (GRI, CDP, SASB, CSRD, etc). ESG data visualization In the end our client has access to a dedicated, custom-made dashboard, where business and sustainability metrics are shown with different levels of access to different company roles. It includes automated real-time updates and prediction scenarios to facilitate strategic decisions for energy consumption reduction and reduced carbon emissions, accelerating sustainability transition. We also incorporate an ESG rating from our rating partners in the UK.

Innovation & Scalability

So far sustainability monitoring has been undertaken on an annual basis, for reporting. Now sustainability executives are looking for automated real-time monitoring. We add value by helping our clients become aware of their sustainability rating and their carbon footprint in real-time and most importantly of ways in which they can improve them. Without any additional hassle, they can use the data insights we provide and turn them into strategic decisions, accelerate their sustainability efforts, their scoring, their reputation and access to new revenue streams and green funding. Our innovation in using the analytics-as-a-service framework, for sustainability, for the first time: Offering flexibility through our analytics-as-a-service, collecting internal and external (Scope 3) data as required, providing different levels of results access per audience and facilitating action on insights through continuous monitoring, scenario investigations and projections, customized for each business. Any company can have the overview of all of their data, any auditor can have access to the whole process from raw data to metrics generation including future projections and a transparent rating system.
