Discover 10 reasons why Synesgy’s ESG platform is the go-to solution for compliance, strategy & competitiveness. Here you find all the answers to your doubts.
When the European Commission unveiled its twin “Omnibus” simplification packages on 26 February 2025, many executives cheered the higher CSRD size-threshold (now 1,000-plus employees) and the extra breathing-room the subsequent Stop-the-Clock directive gives for due diligence filings.
However what looked like deregulation is really a reset: the bar for sustainability reporting may have moved, but the market signal has only strengthened.
A recent global C-suite survey by Forbes found that 91 % of leaders still rank sustainability in their top-five business priorities, explicitly linking it to growth, capital access and talent retention.
Why? Because customers, investors and lenders continue to price a competitiveness premium on credible ESG performance, regardless of whether the next filing lands in 2026 or 2028.
In short: compliance calendars may shift, but sustainability is fast becoming the currency of global markets.
This is the landscape into which Synesgy has scaled, offering an evidence-ready ESG platform designed for strategy, compliance and competitive edge.
1. Global by design
Operating across 101 countries, Synesgy has effectively navigated the complex challenge of designing a globally consistent ESG questionnaire adaptable to diverse local regulatory landscapes.
To maintain global relevance while ensuring local compliance, Synesgy strategically incorporates country-specific regulatory requirements, cultural nuances, and local market practices into the questionnaire.
The meticulous selection of ESG data points, combined with a sophisticated scoring methodology, further reinforces its suitability for international use, supporting organizations in achieving regulatory compliance and meaningful sustainability insights.
Additionally, the widespread adoption of Synesgy for self-assessments, supplier screenings, and evaluations confirms its success in creating a universally applicable yet highly customizable ESG disclosure framework.
2. Standards-aligned methodology
Synesgy aligns closely with major ESG standards, including the ESRS, SDGs, and the emerging VSME standard proposed by EFRAG.
Recognizing Europe’s influential role in shaping global ESG practices, Synesgy consistently updates its methodology to reflect significant regulatory developments.
This proactive approach ensures that users always have access to relevant and timely guidance, simplifying compliance processes and allowing companies to stay ahead of regulatory changes without undue stress or complexity.
3. End-to-end data-quality checks
Synesgy ensures high-quality ESG reporting through a blend of advanced technology and human insight.
Inconsistencies can be easily identified in areas like certifications or public data, thanks to CRIF’s extensive expertise in business information, which allows for effective cross-checking.
For example, the alert engine can detect undeclared certifications or inconsistencies in reported employee numbers and cross-checks with CRIF’s ESG Data Lake help uncover anomalies in energy consumption, waste production, or CO2 emissions.
The Platform also performs consistency checks within the survey responses themselves.
All this features allows Synesgy to identify discrepancies and inconsistencies, which are usually due to errors or a lack of preparation rather than deliberate greenwashing, providing clients with precise feedback.
That’s one of Synesgy’s core values: helping our clients become more skilled and knowledgeable in ESG matters.
4. Actionable scoring & certificate
A standout feature of Synesgy is its personalized ESG performance certificate, coupled with an actionable improvement plan tailored to each company.
These recommendations clearly identify key areas for improvement, making complex ESG data straightforward and practical.
The actions are then personalized for each client and suggest the most effective and immediate improvement paths, based on gaps weighted by our scoring methodology.
5. Supply-chain visibility
Synesgy's intuitive dashboard provides procurement teams with clear and real-time insights into their suppliers' sustainability practices.
Buyers particularly value indicators such as energy efficiency (especially the use of renewables), strong organizational culture, ethical governance, and responsible resource management.
By presenting these key ESG factors through straightforward sub-scores, Synesgy helps businesses confidently select sustainable suppliers, mitigate risks, and support their long-term strategic goals.
6. Plug-and-play API & system integrations
Synesgy simplifies ESG reporting through seamless integration with widely-used ERP and BI systems, reducing the hassle of manual data entry.
For example, an Austrian aerospace company successfully integrated Synesgy data into their SAP platform, significantly cutting down on manual work, reducing errors, and streamlining their supplier evaluation process.
This allowed them to reduce data acquisition and processing time, eliminate errors caused by manual tasks, and synchronize the entire evaluation process in real time: no more waiting for manual uploads.
This practical integration demonstrates Synesgy's capability to make ESG management more efficient and user-friendly, particularly for large or complex organizations.
7. Regulatory readiness
Synesgy remains committed to staying ahead of evolving ESG regulations, offering comprehensive support for frameworks such as CSRD, CSDDD, CBAM, and SFDR.
By quickly adapting to new requirements such as the Omnibus Directive and the latest VSME standards, Synesgy simplifies compliance processes for companies.
The Omnibus Directive mainly proposes a simplification (but not a trivialization) of ESG disclosure and verification activities.
That’s precisely the spirit in which Synesgy was born: to make complexity simple.
This agility allows businesses to efficiently meet regulatory demands, making Synesgy a trusted partner in navigating complex ESG reporting landscapes.
8. Independent market credibility
Synesgy’s recognition on the ESGFinTech100 list significantly enhances its credibility, especially among new or cautious clients who seek third-party validation.
The pursuit of prestigious certifications like EFRAG and GRI has also strengthened client confidence as clients experience tangible operational benefits, Synesgy's reputation continues to grow.
The rapid expansion of its global client base, now exceeding 55,000 companies, further demonstrates Synesgy’s effectiveness and credibility in the ESG management arena.
9. Network effects you can feel
With more than 500,000 suppliers already tracked, Synesgy is creating a self-propelling ecosystem.
Behind the 500,000 companies tracked in Synesgy are about 780,000 invitations sent by lead companies, showing significant supplier overlap across different supply chains.
Many companies are shared across multiple chains.
This is one of Synesgy’s most distinctive features: a company can respond to one questionnaire, obtain a certificate, and immediately fulfill the requirements of 3 - 4 clients.
Moreover, the Platform is increasingly seeing companies registering themselves to complete a self-assessment, without having received an invitation from a client.
That’s a sign that the Synesgy’s ecosystem is also growing thanks to strong and positive word of mouth driven by our expanding network.
10. A living roadmap powered by AI
Synesgy continuously integrates advanced AI and machine learning technologies to proactively address emerging ESG challenges.
Its future-focused roadmap highlights enhancements in user experience, data accuracy, and reporting efficiency driven by AI.
By the end of 2025, Synesgy aims to introduce innovative AI-powered features designed to improve user interaction and data management.
This forward-looking approach positions Synesgy as a leader in technology-driven ESG solutions, ready to meet evolving market needs and sustain its competitive advantage well beyond 2026.
