We Understand & Solve Your Industry’s Challenges
Our solutions cover the topics most material to your industry, enabling you to meet legal requirements and boost sustainability performance.
Meeting Growing ESG Regulatory Requirements
The finance and insurance industry faces increasing pressure to comply with frameworks like the EU Taxonomy, CSRD, and SFDR, which mandate detailed ESG reporting. Advanced ESG tech solutions can streamline data collection, ensure compliance, and provide transparency across supply chains to meet evolving regulatory obligations.
Strengthening Data Security and Business Continuity
With service-heavy supply chains reliant on IT, data management, and consulting, the industry faces risks related to information security and service disruptions. To mitigate these challenges, companies must implement robust cybersecurity and business continuity procedures, ensuring operational resilience. ESG software solutions, which provide tools for monitoring risks and ensuring compliance, can help embed these measures across global supply chains.
Decarbonizing Emissions-Intensive Supply Chains
Digitalization in finance and insurance has led to higher energy consumption, particularly from data centers and IT infrastructure. ESG software can track supplier emissions, support energy-efficient procurement practices, and drive decarbonization across the value chain, reducing Scope 3 carbon footprints.
Mitigating Risks of Corruption and Non-Compliance
Supply chain risks, including bribery, corruption, money laundering, and sanctions violations, pose significant challenges for financial institutions. ESG tools can enable proactive risk management, ensuring ethical compliance and safeguarding against reputational and operational harm.
Driving Sustainable Finance and Positive Impact
Finance and insurance companies can lead sustainable development by integrating ESG into lending and investments decisions, asset management, underwriting, and product offerings such as green bonds or ESG-aligned indexes. Software solutions empower businesses to align financial decisions with sustainability goals, creating value while managing risks across supply chains.

Our due diligence solutions ensure compliance with regulations like the EU’s CSDDD, enabling responsible decision-making across financial portfolios and supply chains.
Sustainability Reporting
Sustainability reporting is vital for financial institutions to demonstrate transparency, showcase commitments to ESG standards, and meet the requirements of frameworks such as the CSRD, SFDR, and the EU Taxonomy Regulation. Our solutions enable accurate data collection and reporting, helping you align with stakeholder expectations and compliance frameworks.
Carbon Emissions & Decarbonization
Financial institutions face increasing pressure to manage Scope 3 emissions from portfolio investments and their supply chains. We help you track and reduce emissions, align with regulatory standards, and achieve your sustainability goals across financed activities.
Deforestation & Biodiversity
Investments in sectors such as agriculture, energy, and manufacturing often have links to deforestation, biodiversity loss, and land-use risks. Our platform ensures compliance with complex regulations like the EUDR, promoting sustainable land use and protecting ecosystems impacted by financial decisions.

Swiss Re
Increasing transparency about ESG performance
by 200% within a year
"IntegrityNext‘s ESG assessments are the solid foundation of our Vendor Development Program and give us the insights we need about sustainability in our value chain.”

Objective
With an ambitious group sustainability strategy in place, focused on the benchmark year of 2030, Swiss Re strategically embedds sustainability in all its activities, including procurement. Swiss Re was looking for a solution to significantly scale up the scope of their ESG assessments, creating the transparency needed to develop vendors and eventually phase out low performers.
How IntegrityNext helps
With IntegrityNext, Swiss Re was able to automate the ESG assessment process and thus scale it with minimal effort. As a result, the reach of the assessments was extended from previously one-third of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers to 100%. This gives Swiss Re the neccessary transparency and provides a solid basis for the company’s Vendor Development Program. Based on the performance data, Swiss Re will take measures to further develop and, where neccessary, phase out vendors.
