ESG solutions for every stage of your sustainability journey.​

Four ways to work with us: Choose the one that suits your current situation.

VSME/ESRS/SRS: Sustainability Report

For companies that require a clear VSME or ESRS sustainability report. We produce your report from data collection through to the final draft, including ESG KPIs, materiality issues, CO₂ data, regulatory classification and corporate design.

ESG Office

For companies that want to manage ESG on an ongoing basis without setting up their own ESG team. We take on your external sustainability function and provide support with ESG strategy, reporting, KPI management and stakeholder enquiries. 

Starboard – SME / Enterprise (KI-Software)

Enter your sustainability data just once. Our AI-powered software guides you through the entire process—from data collection to the final report in accordance with CSRD/ESRS, VSME, or UK SRS. Everything is handled in one place: no more Excel spreadsheets, version confusion, or last-minute stress before the deadline.

ESG Self-Assessment/Benchmarking

Through our ESG self-assessment and benchmarking program, conducted in partnership with Deutsche Bank, companies receive an initial assessment of their sustainability performance. The results highlight strengths and areas for improvement and provide a solid foundation for the next steps toward sustainable financing.
