Just a few months after being certified by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), our ESG Assessment tool has gained a major new recognition: we are officially on the Certified Software Partners list.
Partner Software & Tools: our tool for certified support
We have always stood by companies on the path to decarbonization in a concrete and transparent way.
As a certified GRI software partner, we assure our clients that our ESG Assessment accurately and relevantly integrates the GRI Standards, providing accurate analysis data.
Software & Tools Partner is another representative piece of the certified support we provide to companies in measuring and assessing how they are managing against environmental, social and governance dimensions.
The tool was developed entirely by the Tecno ESG Benefit Company team; a tool designed to promote long-term value creation by bringing out critical issues and priorities, increasing the organization’s awareness of the performance and impacts generated in each of the three areas, and suggesting improvement actions.
ESG criteria: how to integrate them into business strategy
The concept of sustainability evolves over time, hand in hand with changes involving the market and society. A key word in the field of sustainability is the acronym ESG – Environmental, Social, Governance – a fundamental parameter for the purpose of evaluating a company.
While ESG criteria have become decisive for business growth, the adherence to and integration of these principles have increased awareness of the need to reshape corporate strategy, inspiring it with greater ethics, people’s well-being and environmental protection.
It is in this context that our ESG Assessment fits, with which we accompany companies in implementing a consistent and correct corporate sustainability strategy .
ESG assessment: areas of analysis and relevant issues
Our ESG Assessment is divided into three areas: Environmental, Social and Governance; key issues are identified for each.
In order to be able to return an objective snapshot of ESG performance, the company is asked to fill out a questionnaire, the questions of which are designed to understand how the relevant issues being analyzed are managed and how they are overseen.
Upon completion of the questionnaire, the ESG Assessment is validated by our team; once validation is complete, a dashboard with the ESG performance obtained is visible in the platform.
For each area examined, a comparison with the market is provided, highlighting the certifications obtained by competitors and the best practices implemented.
The set of information present in the analysis areas and survey fields of our tool are constructed based on the contents of the UNI ISO 26000 standard (UNI/PdR 18:2016) and the international reporting standard GRI Standards.
ESG Assessment and SDGs
The ESG Assessment is structured taking into account the company’s industry and reference standards.
The suggested improvement actions generate an important advantage for companies over competitors; they enable the development of an effective sustainability strategy that meets market and stakeholder demands.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a global reference that draws the attention of organizations that are required to make an important contribution; that is why each action suggested by the ESG Assessment is linked to specific SDGs.
The benefits of our ESG Assessment
The ESG Assessment helps to become more aware of the performance and impacts generated by corporate activities.
It represents a tool of considerable impact as it strengthens the link with stakeholders, the development and maintenance of policies implemented and certifications acquired, and the monitoring of sustainability performance over time, correlated with the objectives set; in addition, it enables the Sustainability Report to be fed.
In fact, it is necessary for companies to take proactive actions in order to ensure that future disclosure requirements are met.
The ESG Assessment is a useful aid to the accuracy of the data that are critical to the preparation of the Sustainability Report.

The recognition obtained from GRI for our ESG Assessment is a key aspect of our growth; a further demonstration of our commitment and the transparency with which we approach the companies that choose us every day as partners in the strategic path of sustainability integration.
Tecno ESG Benefit Society is at the side of companies to support and direct them to implement effective ESG strategies.
