KPMG + Unqork on How Codeless Architecture Keeps Pace with the Fast-Changing ESG Landscape

Leaders in the industrials sector face increasing pressure to comply with rapidly evolving ESG mandates—from regulators, from investors, and from the market. To thrive in this new reality, they need to build robust systems to create and manage public disclosures.

Codeless Architecture is uniquely able to meet this challenge. With it, you can digitize ESG operations rapidly and make changes as quickly as requirements evolve.

To learn more, watch the new webinar, in which two ESG leaders from KPMG LLP, Ed Williams and Trevor Dunaway, join Matthew Linakis, Senior Enterprise Account Executive at Unqork, to discuss the ways codeless development:

  • Accelerates time-to-market for ESG solutions
  • Lowers total cost of ownership of these solutions
  • Provides the flexibility to change them on the fly, even when already in production.

Williams, Dunaway, and Linakis explore how Unqork customers have benefited from automated ESG operations, the integrations challenges ESG solutions typically entail, how to scale ESG to global teams, and how data residency affects scalability. They also discuss when to use Unqork, versus building a solution internally with traditional development models—and the ways Unqork handles data security.

Why traditional solutions can’t keep up

Increasingly, industrial leaders are discovering that pre-built, one-size-fits-all ESG solutions are not engineered for the realities of modern ESG requirements, which:

  • Vary widely across industries, geographies, and organizations
  • Lack of standardized reporting features
  • Require gathering and integrating multiple disconnected datasets
  • Are subject to constantly changing regulations and evolving market forces.

Alternately, organizations can build custom ESG solutions using traditional coding techniques. However, development timelines are long. By the time solutions are ready for market, core elements risk being outdated because regulations, market forces, or underlying systems have changed.

As a result, businesses find themselves in an endless game of catch-up, even as they invest more time and more resources in updating code.

What does codeless ESG look like?

Unqork provides a comprehensive solution for ESG data collection and validation, including support for both multi-channel upstream data collection and downstream collaboration and reporting. Benefits include:

  • Ease of integrations: Easily integrate data critical to ESG reporting from both internal and external data services.
  • End-to-end auditability: Support full auditability without any special configuration, including robust controls of non-financial data.
  • Rapid iterations: Because you never write new code, you can scale out changes to rules, workflows, and calculation logic much more quickly and easily.
  • Tailored self-service portals: Quickly build portfolio portals that provide access to ESG data to stakeholders within and beyond the organization.

“The biggest strength of our platform is the ability is the ability to swap in and out any external services and internal services as requirements evolve, which is especially important in nascent area like ESG,” says Linakis.
