Key Esg and Climate Investment

5.0 last year

Comments: Great

Pros:

Customer support; activity based calculations

Manual entry for travel; no financed emissions category for GP view

Alternatives Considered: Novata

Reasons for Switching to KEY ESG: Activity-based calculations built into the software rather than excel based

Speed and efficiency

4.0 last year

Comments: I've really enjoyed the experience, and the fact that they have started to build a community for ESG practitioners to share best practice and learnings.

Pros:

KEY ESG’s software has increased the accuracy and speed at which ESG data is gathered. With a robust reporting system in place, Pollen Street has been able to set data-driven targets for next year. These insights, along with KEY ESG’s specialist guidance, have allowed Pollen Street’s portfolio companies to spend less time reporting and more time effecting positive change.

Cons:

This was still a relatively new product when we onboarded, and as such there was some functionality that still needed to be developed (eg bulk upload), and some glitches. However, these have been ironed out and they have a roadmap to improve features and functionality

Alternatives Considered: Worldfavor

Reasons for Switching to KEY ESG: Customer support. I felt that I could build a partnership to make sure that we get the best out of the relationship, and to ensure that we get the best service that is relevant to Pollen Street.

Easy to use + friendly team

4.0 last year

Pros:

I liked the clear categories with detail on how to gather the data if you didn't know how and the team was super friendly and helpful when I had any questions.

Cons:

It seemed very UK centric and did not include several countries my coworkers had traveled to for scope 3 emissions category.

Pros:

An intuitive system. The system allows the user to upload evidence/files supporting statements & data.

World class software

5.0 last year

Comments: Absolutely a pleasure working with them. The software itself is world class but the team supporting it makes KEY ESG unique.

Pros:

KEY ESG is not only about a software but the people behind it. Their team made the use of their software extremely easy and they spent the right amount of time educating all our users and making them wanting to enter data and see the results. The team at KEY ESG was extremely helpful in all parts of the process which is very important when you have different users from different companies with different levels of expertise in the topic.

Cons:

I have nothing to comment here. The software delivered in every aspect that we needed.
