The platform serves global businesses, private equity firms and their portfolio companies. KEY ESG's 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. KEY ESG provides an all-in-one sustainability management platform for the business user to aggregate and analyse their ESG data. We reveal improvement opportunities so users can then set targets and action plans to drive change. KEY ESG is aligned to all the major ESG regulations and frameworks such as CSRD, SFDR, TCFD, EU Taxonomy, IFRS S1 and S2, SBTi, EDCI and more. The platform updates in-line with evolving regulations so businesses don't need to keep abreast of the changes themselves. For additional support we also have a team of in-house compliance experts to answer questions relating to compliance. KEY ESG makes sustainability management accessible to the business-user and enables businesses to unlock their sustainable advantage. > > Verdict: Rated **4.9/5** by 27 users.

Our company was new to ESG and was finding it challenging to grasp the vast amount of ESG data scattered across our organization. KEY ESG's platform made it straightforward to centralize everything in one place. The dashboard is intuitive to use; it allowed an incredibly simple transition from our spreadsheets and data collection into one simple dashboard that anyone on the team can use. As the company begins its new ESG program, we found the Guidance sections on data collection to be very valuable as we introduce new teammates to the ESG program. It took a lot of the explaining out of the work in the program and makes it simple to understand why we need to collect certain information to get our emissions, or what value the information adds to the overall data collection. The user management and data collection is refreshingly easy to use as both a team administrator and as a front-end user. Additionally, a major pro for me was the team itself. The level of customer support they were willing to provide was exceptional and made the entire implementation process much smoother. > > **Cons**: While our overall experience with KEY ESG has been very positive, there were a couple of areas we felt could be improved. As a company new to ESG, we found that while the features were very intuitive, some of the more advanced reporting pieces had a larger learning curve. It took our team a bit more time to fully understand and leverage these aspects. We also found the workflow for signing off on data to generate a report was slightly confusing at first. This may have just been user error on our part as we were still learning the system. > > Overall, our experience with KEY ESG has been very positive. As a company new to ESG, we were able to get started very quickly. The platform strikes a great balance between being powerful enough to centralize our data and simple enough for the entire team to adopt. The built-in guidance was significant in helping us understand the data requirements easily. KEY ESG has been an effective tool for launching our program. A major highlight was working with their team, who were very easy to work with and highly responsive, which was a key factor in our successful implementation. ----- ### "KEY ESG Exceeds Expectations" — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *16 October 2025* | Investment Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The KEY ESG platform is industry leading, and their support team is what puts them over the edge. The team at KEY ESG has been instrumental in supporting our Firm with our efforts to collect sustainability-related data from our portfolio companies. When we were looking for an ESG data collection platform we were looking for a partner, and we found that with KEY ESG. Although our data collection efforts were initially a daunting task, given the various frameworks we had to comply with, the intuitive software made for a smooth data collection process. > > **Cons**: Nothing particular to note. The KEY ESG team is very receptive to feedback and when I have provided my thoughts on historical pain points, they were addressed across the platform. > > Overall, we are very happy with our experience with KEY ESG. Although we've only been a client for about a year, their support truly has changed our ESG program. 2024 was the first year we collected data from our portfolio companies, all of whom are US-domiciled companies, with varying perspectives on ESG and sustainability in the current market. What was initially a very daunting task became much more manageable thanks to the KEY ESG platform, which makes data collection intuitive and simple for our companies and the support team who helped us along the way. The data output is also very clean which allows us to just export and provide to investors (which we greatly appreciate). Lastly, the team has been very supportive of our efforts-- they always going above and beyond with customer service. I demoed a lot of ESG data collection platforms before we settled on KEY ESG, and time and time again I am reminded that we made the right choice. ----- ### "The KEYeSg to the kingdom" — 5.0/5 > **Dan** | *13 October 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Helpful content, incredibly helpful and responsive people. Intuitive platform that makes data collection easy. I like the option to add custom metrics. > > **Cons**: Difficult to use without innate knowledge of carbon capture and/or sustainability policy. Can sometimes be difficult to review data especially when it’s submitted by someone else. > > Overall, I’m pleased with the platform and very happy with the customer service they provide. Good selection of resources (if you know where to look) and quality webinars presented with a regular cadence. ----- ### "A complete, efficient and easy-to-use solution for ESG management and reporting" — 5.0/5 > **vanessa** | *13 May 2025* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: So easy to use (no training). Possibility to have local+group collect and results "in one click". Possibility to add our own KPIs. > > **Cons**: Exports that don't combine responses and comments. This is a point for improvement to make them even more effective for the customer. But it's a "nice to have", the current solution is already brilliant \! ----- ### "Speed and efficiency" — 4.0/5 > **Alison** | *24 August 2023* | Investment Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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 > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/420213/key-esg?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/420213/key-esg) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
