For many organizations, ESG reporting is a painful journey that stretches over three to six months. Departments spend countless hours validating numbers, and formatting disclosures  only to deliver reports that are outdated by the time they’re published. With new regulations from the CBE and global standards like CSRD and SFDR in Europe, the burden is growing heavier. This is where automation changes everything.

Why ESG Reports Take So Long

Traditional ESG reporting requires data from dozens of departments: emissions, supply chain, HR, governance, and financial disclosures. Each team manages ESG data separately, leading to fragmented information that takes a lot of time to organize and align. Manual reviews add further delays, and compliance teams often struggle to align outputs with the latest frameworks.

The result? Reports that are expensive, slow, and prone to errors.

Planet Metric is changing the game. With our ESG reporting automation software, companies can now generate regulator-ready ESG reports in minutes not months, freeing up resources to focus on strategy and impact.

Instead of relying on endless Excel sheets, our platform:

  • Collects and validates ESG data automatically with pre-defined rules.
  • Maps every data point to global and local frameworks (CBE,CSRD, SFDR).
  • Generates regulator-ready reports in one click, with bilingual support for Arabic and English.
  • Tracks versions, approvals, and deadlines so compliance officers can work in real time.

What once took months of back-and-forth emails now takes minutes, freeing teams to focus on insights rather than formatting.

Beyond Compliance

Reporting is no longer just about meeting deadlines. Automated ESG disclosures give organizations the ability to:

  • Identify risks early, such as high-emission sectors in lending portfolios.
  • Seize new opportunities, like green finance products and climate-linked bonds.
  • Build regulator and investor trust through transparent, validated data.

 

Instead of ESG being a cost center, it becomes a tool for competitive advantage.

Why Local Matters

Global firms often focus on broad frameworks, but local regulators are moving fast. In Egypt alone, the CBE mandates ESG disclosures for banks. Planet Metric was built with these realities in mind, combining international compliance with local reporting needs, a unique edge for MENA organizations.

The Future of Reporting is Automated

Sustainability leaders no longer have to choose between accuracy and speed. With Planet Metric, CFOs and ESG managers can deliver compliance reports in minutes, not months  all while unlocking insights that drive smarter decisions.
