ESG Reporting and Carbon Accounting – Built Into Xledger

Discover how Xledger is helping organisations and their partners stay ahead of ESG expectations — without adding hours of manual work.

ESG and climate reporting that’s ready when you are

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting is no longer just a compliance issue: it’s a competitive advantage.

In this short video, Xledger’s consultants, Laura and Ben, explain how the platform is helping organisations and outsourcing partners automate ESG reporting, calculate emissions data, and prepare for growing pressure from clients, investors, and regulators.

“We’re hearing from accountancy firms that clients are asking for ESG data — and they’re worried they’ll have to do it manually. With Xledger, a lot of it is already done.”

Whether you’re in-house or working with outsourced finance partners, Xledger makes ESG reporting scalable and sustainable. Real-time automation means reporting becomes a by-product of everyday data entry, not a year-end project.
