The Need:
Sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) have become integral parts of our society and economy. To shape a future together with companies that positively impacts our environment, FinMatch also places great importance on the multifaceted topic of sustainability. In this area, FinMatch focuses particularly on companies in the fields of renewable energy, environment, and circular economy, supporting them in their efforts to introduce more sustainability into our economy (and its processes).
Furthermore, FinMatch helps companies secure liquidity for growth, finance commercial properties including recycling facilities, lease transport fleets, and much more.
To tailor its offerings to the needs of various companies, it is essential to know and analyze the exact situation of the company in the three ESG areas. Companies are increasingly under pressure due to new laws and regulatory changes, such as the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) and the EU taxonomy. The result is a customized offer for the client.
The Solution:
FinMatch decided to integrate CRIF’s global sustainability platform Synesgy into its processes.
Synesgy makes it easy to capture ESG criteria. It is the first global platform that enables companies to evaluate their ESG status quickly and in compliance with regulations. Additionally, every company can assess its supply chain on the platform according to ESG criteria—because a company is only as sustainable as its supply chain. The questionnaire for evaluating the company itself and/or its supply chain always reflects the current local and international legislation. This ensures the company is compliant and can monitor whether its supply chain is also acting in accordance with the law.
The Result:
By acting proactively, various sustainability-related issues in the economy can be addressed. With knowledge of their own ESG position and that of their entire supply chain, companies can, among other things, avoid resource waste and make production and sourcing more efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Improved use of resources can also enhance and strengthen the company’s financing situation.
This enables FinMatch to offer its customers an all-round package that also covers the ESG area.
