A CSRD-tool that delivers business value and transparency
CJ Group is among a rapidly growing group of companies that have chosen Ramboll's CSRD Navigator as the platform for CSRD work.
This is due to their ambition to lead in both products and processes. Among the companies in the CJ Group are Welcon and Superwood, which, like several of the companies in the group, stem from and work within sustainable agenda.
Superwood, for example, supplies long-lasting wood products for construction and aims to become climate-positive by 2030, while Welcon, as the largest tower supplier to the wind turbine industry in Europe, is among the leading actors in renewable energy.
They had therefore been searching for a CSRD-tool that delivers business value and creates transparency in a diversified group, Sofie Mora Kristensen, Group Sustainability Manage explains.
"The first step was to find a tool that allowed us to work as a team—across departments, companies, and partners."
The goal was simple in theory but complex in practice.
They needed complete control over data and the double materiality analysis (also called double materiality assessment or DMA) across all companies in the organization.
Moreover, their various subgroups each needing to develop their own DMA, it was essential to have a CSRD-tool that could consolidate everything into one system.
They actively sought ownership of data and insight that wasn't scattered across various spreadsheets and PDFs in different places among different subgroups.
Only in this way can all involved parties work together instead of in separate silos, and the entire CSRD-reporting process can be made efficient and operational.
More and more companies are actively working with CSRD- and ESG-reporting.
And they all have unique needs that are only relevant to them.
This was very much the case for CJ Group—not least because of the particular way their group is structured and how fundamental sustainability is to their business models.
But some needs are shared by all:
- Security (technical and legal)
- Manageability (in data and workflow)
- A standardized solution that...
- ...is also adapted to their unique needs
Because the goal for many is the same: To comply with new legal requirements while remaining a preferred partner for existing customers and ensuring simple and trouble-free day-to-day operations.
By that measure, Welcon, Superwood, and the other companies in the group are already excelling.
But why stop there?
"We have won customers because we have a good handle on our sustainability documentation and have a relatively low CO2 footprint compared to other materials.”
CJ Group wanted full ownership of the process across the entire CSRD and DMA work without being dependent on external consulting services.
How many resources should be allocated? Where should more be prioritized? Where could savings be made? Could a premium product price be justified?
By considering this from the start and by choosing a tool like CSRD Navigator, where Ramboll performs continuous updates, they ensure that they lay a strong foundation for further CSRD-work.
Because as Sofie says, "It's not just a one-time exercise. Far from it. It's a natural part of our business and sales models."
That's why they have also involved their auditing firm from the start to maximize the benefit of their work.
A collaboration that, by the way, would be nearly impossible without CSRD Navigator's collaboration features to pull all the threads together
"Instead of reinventing the wheel again and again, it's handled by the system.”
In addition to the standard benefits of a system like CSRD Navigator, such as frameworks, guides, step-by-step processes, and easy reporting, a crucial factor is legal assistance.
That is, the more time the CSRD solution can free companies from the legal grunt work (e.g., keeping up with and updating the hundreds of different legal requirements), the more time and resources they can dedicate to developing the DMA and other things that create active value.
Here, CSRD Navigator in an obvious choice.
Because we are the only ones on the market to offer Navigator with the support of Ramboll's leading industry and area experts as a backup for the CSRD-solution.
And that is particularly useful on the legal front, where our lawyers and sustainability experts constantly ensure that the system is up-to-date with all changes and additions in legal requirements.
