ESG Scoring & Reporting Platform

Manual ESG data collection couldn’t keep pace with evolving regulatory requirements and investor demand for transparent, real-time sustainability metrics. Eastgate built an automated scoring platform with data pipelines and regulatory report generation.

Challenge

• Manual gathering of ESG data from disparate sources was slow and error-prone
• EU SFDR, CSRD, and taxonomy alignment requirements demanded structured, auditable data
• Different analysts applied methodologies differently, reducing confidence in ratings
• Quarterly reporting cycles left investors with stale ESG assessments

Solution

• ETL workflows ingesting ESG data from 50+ sources including regulatory databases, corporate filings, and news APIs
• Rules-based and ML-enhanced scoring across E, S, and G dimensions with configurable weighting per framework (GRI, SASB, TCFD)
• Interactive investor dashboards with drill-down from portfolio-level to individual company metrics
• Automated generation of SFDR, CSRD-aligned reports with audit trail
• RESTful API for integration with existing portfolio management systems

Architecture

Outcome

• 3x more companies processed per analyst compared to manual workflow
• Real-time scoring replacing quarterly manual assessments
• 50+ data sources integrated into automated pipelines
• Regulatory compliance with EU SFDR and CSRD frameworks built in
• MVP delivered in 8 weeks with production launch at 14 weeks
