Onyen Corporation
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting is a crucial component to the success of resource companies as investors, both retail and institutional, are increasingly using these indicators when evaluating investment opportunities.
Onyen Corporation offers an innovative software solution to not only complete a company’s ESG reporting obligations, but to also elevate its’ ESG profile to the benefit of all key stakeholders. Profile driven reporting to meet the reporting needs of the target audience. Now the Corporate Social Responsibility associate, the CEO, the Investor, the Board of Directors and the Ratings Agencies can review the reports according to their specific requirements.
A significant challenge to producing inclusive and transparent ESG Reports for all stakeholders is ensuring the reports adhere to a growing list of international standards and frameworks. Onyen’s solution recognizes and aggregates all frameworks ensuring you stay current.
Onyen has made ESG reporting easy and cost efficient for all resource companies. With Onyen’s powerful features including:
• benchmarking,
• audit controls,
• auto calculations,
• reference ranges that immediately highlight how to manage outcomes,
• year-over-year trend analysis, and
• the Executive Dashboard, an overview of how your company is faring in real-time. The dashboard is able to indicate key metrics and convey measured results, thus ensuring companies make informed decisions.
ONYEN also supports corporate governance at the Board level through its alignment with rating agencies, ensuring outcomes and key indicators are in line with corporate goals and performance measurements. Rating agencies benefit from obtaining insight and using company and sector data sets for comparative benchmarking.
However, the benefits of ESG reporting go beyond satisfying the needs of these varied and critical stakeholders. ESG reporting is a gateway to the financial markets. Banks and Institutional Investors are increasingly making investment decisions based on ESG criteria. For example, stock market regulators are now looking at ESG ratings before giving approval to publicly traded mergers and acquisitions within the resource sector.
“ESG Reporting ultimately leads to investment dollars; and banks and other institutions have made it pretty clear that if resource companies don’t report, they will not be taken seriously or included in funding channels” says Onyen Corporation’s Founder and CEO, Laurie Clark.
