ESG data management reimagined: Wincasa integrates collection, processing and reporting of your sustainability data
The requirements for ESG reporting are increasing: investors, regulatory authorities and benchmarks such as GRESB demand reliable, auditable sustainability data. However, many owners struggle with scattered, unstructured information and a high level of manual effort. Wincasa offers a solution that optimises the entire process from data collection to reporting.
‘While the disclosure of ESG data used to be voluntary, the trend is now clearly moving towards regulatory requirements,’ says Dr Niklas Naehrig, Head of Consulting & Sustainability at Wincasa. ’The demands on data quality and quantity are increasing dramatically. Anyone still working with Excel spreadsheets will no longer be able to cope with the increasing complexity.’
Wincasa relies on a digital data platform to provide property owners with efficient and, if required, even audited ESG reporting. This platform processes data from a wide range of sources, automatically checks data quality and generates standardised reports.
Auditability as the key to success
One of the key problems in ESG reporting is the reliability of the data. Although many companies provide figures, clear evidence or standardised test procedures are often missing. ‘Our solution meets the requirements of the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE 3000) and ensures that ESG data is not only recorded correctly but can also be audited,’ emphasises Niklas Naehrig.
Automated plausibility checks enable anomalies and missing values to be detected and corrected at an early stage. This ensures that ESG data is reliable for both internal analyses and external audits and certifications.
Less effort, more insights
For institutional owners, structured ESG data management means, above all, a massive reduction in administrative effort. The technology developed by Wincasa together with Novalytica makes it possible to automatically read and structure consumption data from invoices and link it to other key figures. ‘This makes it possible to generate ESG reports at the push of a button – and for all common standards such as GRESB, REIDA or AMAS,’ explains Niklas Naehrig.
ESG data as a strategic advantage
Optimising ESG data management not only provides regulatory certainty, but also strategic advantages. Property owners gain deep insights into the sustainability status of their portfolio and can identify measures at an early stage. Based on the insights gained, Wincasa also supports its customers in implementing CO2 reduction and other sustainability measures directly on the property.
‘Those who manage their ESG data properly can make well-informed investment decisions, identify potential savings and increase the long-term value of their properties,’ says Naehrig. ’Sustainability is no longer just a reporting issue – it is a key factor in the performance of real estate.’
With its digital ESG data solution, Wincasa is setting new standards in property management. It ensures that sustainability data is structured, verified and auditable – and thus makes it easier for owners to implement a future-oriented ESG strategy.
