Creditinfo and Esgrid Partner to Launch ESG Hub in the Baltics
PRESS RELEASE
03 December 2024 – Creditinfo, a global credit bureau and information services group, and Esgrid, a value chain sustainability platform, have joined forces to create ESG Hub, a centralised ESG data registry for the Baltic region. This one-of-a-kind platform is designed to simplify how businesses collect, analyse, and share Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data—bridging the gap between rising sustainability demands and the practical challenges companies face in meeting them.
At present, ESG data remains fragmented, with no unified standard in place, complicating efforts for businesses and financial institutions alike. ESG Hub will address this gap by providing a comprehensive, single-source platform that combines quantitative and qualitative ESG insights. This will empower financiers and investors to make more transparent decisions while considering the environmental, social, and governance impacts of the companies they engage with.
Creditinfo will contribute its robust data collection capabilities by aggregating information from public and private registries, while Esgrid will work closely with businesses to capture and verify missing ESG data. Together, the partnership promises a reliable, end-to-end solution for ESG visibility and compliance.
Nele Roostalu, Product Development Manager at Creditinfo, highlighted the timeliness of the initiative:
“Integrating ESG metrics into the Baltic market is an essential step forward. By combining our expertise in trusted data management with ESG-focused solutions, we’re equipping businesses and financial institutions to operate more responsibly and transition to sustainable business models.”
Elari Tammenurm, Managing Director of Creditinfo Estonia, added:
“For over 30 years, we’ve empowered companies to make smarter business decisions. ESG data represents the next leap, enabling actionable solutions to promote sustainability.”
Oksana Tolmatshova, Co-Founder and CEO of Esgrid, emphasised the practical value of the new platform:
“Access to ESG data is critical for sustainable financing and procurement. Our collaboration with Creditinfo delivers a solution that significantly reduces bureaucracy and enhances companies’ competitiveness on both regional and international levels.”
ESG Hub is already in development, with the first phase set to roll out by the end of Q1 2025. This will include tools to help Baltic companies organise and share their ESG data while positioning themselves as sustainability leaders in their industries.
