Our integrated approach
Software, advisory and implementation – aligned end-to-end
Most ESG reporting initiatives feel like a burden not because of a lack of data, but because poor integration prevents robust reporting from being used by decision-makers.
Cognita Advisory addresses this by combining:
- Enterprise ESG reporting software designed for audit-grade data management
- Advisory support to clarify requirements, interpret outputs and prioritise action
- Implementation expertise to embed ESG reporting into business processes and governance
