About KEY ESG

KEY ESG is a UK-based software platform that streamlines and optimizes the collection, management, and reporting of ESG and carbon accounting data. The platform helps fund managers across private and public markets and their portfolio companies. Their modular solutions are flexible to meet different levels of ESG maturity, company size and complexity. ESG regulations are complex and constantly evolving, and there is increasing focus on carbon emissions and ESG practices from governments, regulatory bodies, and consumers. Long-term value creation for both investors and companies relies on good ESG processes, from data disclosure to improvement actions. Our simple, intuitive platform solves the inefficiency and inaccuracy of historical data collection methods.

Speed and efficiency

I've really enjoyed the experience, and the fact that they have started to build a community for ESG practitioners to share best practice and learnings.

PROS

KEY ESG’s software has increased the accuracy and speed at which ESG data is gathered. With a robust reporting system in place, Pollen Street has been able to set data-driven targets for next year. These insights, along with KEY ESG’s specialist guidance, have allowed Pollen Street’s portfolio companies to spend less time reporting and more time effecting positive change.

CONS

This was still a relatively new product when we onboarded, and as such there was some functionality that still needed to be developed (eg bulk upload), and some glitches. However, these have been ironed out and they have a roadmap to improve features and functionality

Reason for choosing KEY ESG

Customer support. I felt that I could build a partnership to make sure that we get the best out of the relationship, and to ensure that we get the best service that is relevant to Pollen Street.

Easy to use + friendly team

PROS

I liked the clear categories with detail on how to gather the data if you didn't know how and the team was super friendly and helpful when I had any questions.

CONS

It seemed very UK centric and did not include several countries my coworkers had traveled to for scope 3 emissions category.

Beginners review of Key ESG

PROS

KEY ESG held their first conference in November 2023. It was a great opportunity to hear more about the products and services they provide and meet with like minded people. As a company who has only just started using KEY ESG, the talk on using the system was particularly beneficial. Thoroughly enjoyed attending and look forward to the conference next year.
