Datamaran launches product for ESG risk, compliance management
This story was originally published on ESG Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily ESG Dive newsletter. Datamaran, a corporate risk and governance software platform, launched a 'core product' Wednesday, designed for companies to identify, manage and disclose relevant ESG issues, risks and opportunities, according to a company press release. The product will use artificial intelligence to help companies conduct materiality assessments, support ongoing compliance work and monitor for key regulatory shifts and trends, as well as peer benchmarking, the June 18 release said. Datamaran said its core product will work to support corporate sustainability, legal and risk management teams with insights and help them manage 'regulatory alignment on topics such as climate change, resource use, consumers & end users and business conduct.' The ESG compliance tool comes at a time when federal ESG and climate regulations in the U.S. are facing the chopping block, but both state and international jurisdictions maintain climate-risk disclosure laws that either are or will soon come into effect. Datatmaran said the tools will enhance reporting workflows by using AI to reduce manual effort, and the product supports compliance with multiple disclosure frameworks. Datamaran CEO Marjella Lecourt-Alma said in the release that the new product will give companies 'the insights ready to move from compliance burden to strategic advantage' and 'the capabilities they need to confidently run repeatable, audit-ready assessments while remaining agile in the face of shifting requirements.' The new offering joins Datamaran's suite of products that also includes a tool to conduct double materiality assessments — DMA Evaluate — which was launched in April. This tool, which is included as a part of the core product as well, will allow clients to both assess how climate impacts their business, as well as its business impacts on a broader range of stakeholders, as required by the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and European Sustainability Reporting Standards. Clients who use the core product will also gain access to Datamaran's ESG experts and member-only events as part of the software company's community for sustainability professionals, Harbor+. The community will also gain access to exclusive research and insights from Datamaran, according to the release. Datamaran is among a growing number of companies using artificial intelligence to aid and augment corporate sustainability reporting capabilities. Reporting remains a popular use case for AI from a climate and ESG standpoint, as companies and CSOs look for the best ways to use AI for sustainability.

New Research by Datamaran Uncovers Key Trends in First CSRD Reports from Over 300 Companies Across Europe
Datamaran's new report analyzes 11,000+ Impact, Risk, and Opportunity (IRO) statements to reveal how companies are tackling CSRD compliance and sustainability-related priorities NEW YORK and LONDON , May 22, 2025 /CNW/ -- Today, Datamaran, the global leader in AI-powered risk and governance software, released its latest research report, " CSRD Reports Uncovered: Insights from a Detailed Analysis of 11,000+ IROs from 300+ Companies." This first‑of‑its‑kind study offers a comprehensive view of how companies across Europe are approaching the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), with a deep dive into the topics disclosed and how Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities (IROs) were contextualized and presented. The findings shed light on emerging trends in materiality assessments, how companies are interpreting disclosure requirements, and which topics are driving boardroom agendas. Drawing from Datamaran's proprietary data and expert review, the report surfaces key patterns and gaps to help corporate leaders and practitioners benchmark practices, identify blind spots, and prepare for what's ahead. In addition to macro trends, the report offers sector-specific insights on how companies across 11 sectors are interpreting double materiality. It reveals key maturity signals – including whether companies are applying time horizons, disclosing value chain impacts, and distinguishing between actual and potential effects. Key findings include: Negative impacts outnumber opportunities nearly 3 to 1, with 37% of all IROs classified as negative impacts and just 13% as opportunities. This suggests companies are taking a cautious approach and are aligning with the principle of prudence. Climate Change (E1), Own Workforce (S1) and Business Conduct (G1) were reported by 99%, 98% and 92% of companies respectively, whereas Affected Communities (S3), Water (E3), and Biodiversity (E4) appeared in just 36%, 37% and 44% of reports. CSRD statements average 103 pages, virtually unchanged from the pre-CSRD average of 102, yet companies disclosed anywhere from 6 to 130 IROs (most between 25 - 45), highlighting wide variability in materiality thresholds. Companies identified an average of 6 out of the 10 ESRS standards as material, reflecting the broad application of the double materiality lens. Notably, only 14% of companies included any entity‑specific IROs. " As the CSRD sets a new standard for transparency and accountability, our analysis shows that most companies are still building the muscle for continuous, data‑driven management," said Marjella Lecourt‑Alma, CEO and co‑founder of Datamaran. " This report gives corporate leaders a valuable benchmark as they work to evolve from compliance to competitive advantage." The analysis draws on sustainability reports from 304 companies across 21 countries and 57 industries, published between January and April 2025 . Click here to download the full report.
