The Cards – Sustainability Data and Reporting (ESRS)

The Cards is a lightweight, user-friendly platform that simplifies sustainability data collection and ESRS-aligned reporting – especially for subcontractors and SMEs in the manufacturing industry. Built for collaboration and transparency, it supports suppliers in meeting CSRD requirements without locking them into a proprietary system.

What the offer includes

The Cards provides a modular interface aligned with ESRS, with built-in prompts and smart guidance to help users understand what data is required and how to provide it. Users can start small, focus on the essentials, and expand their reporting scope.

Users can easily import data from spreadsheets, and export results in open formats for other tools, systems, or workflows. No vendor lock-in.

Who benefits from this offer

Subcontractors and SME suppliers delivering ESG data to their customers.

Sustainability managers collecting and validating ESG data from distributed sources.

Consultants helping multiple companies comply with CSRD/ESRS.

Enterprises reducing friction in understanding and reporting ESG data.

Customer needs addressed

Complying with CSRD and ESRS can be overwhelming – especially for smaller actors lacking dedicated sustainability staff or systems. Challenges include:

Understanding what data is expected.

Coordinating reporting across internal and external contributors.

Avoiding duplicate work and errors from scattered Excel templates.

Preventing lock-in to complex platforms that restrict data ownership or flexibility.

The Cards solves this by offering:

Open architecture: data can always be exported and reused – you're never stuck.

Simple to use: intuitive interface that guides users through each ESRS topic.

Flexible data entry: fill in data manually, collaborate with colleagues, or upload structured files.

Smart guidance: AI assistants to support users in the context.

The result is a pragmatic tool that lowers the threshold for getting started, ensures compliance with key sustainability regulations, and strengthens trust between suppliers and customers.

Whether you're a supplier responding to data requests or an OEM coordinating your supply chain, The Cards helps you get compliant – and stay in control of your own data.
