Published 18 December 2025 –
2025 was a crucial year for climate – extreme weather events, political pushbacks against climate action, and evolving sustainability reporting regulations worldwide.
Even so, with over two-thirds of companies reporting under ISSB or CSRD frameworks indicating that sustainability disclosures now inform business strategy, risk management, and supply chain decisions, the corporate sustainability imperative continues to unmistakenly grow stronger.
With more than 1,000 companies on board the ESGpedia platform, our team has witnessed the business benefits experience firsthand – our clients have seen a 90.8% reduction in effort, 75% productivity gain, and up to 4.5 months of time saved from digitalising and streamlining sustainability reporting and carbon accounting processes.
It is our privilege to be at the forefront of the corporate sustainability movement, empowering corporates, SMEs, and financial institutions with digital tools to accelerate their sustainability efforts. Read on for our 2025 recap!
