Turn Sustainability Data Into Strategic Advantage

CSRD, EU Taxonomy, and the Dutch Klimaatakkoord are creating an urgent data problem for Dutch energy and industrial organisations. We build the data infrastructure that makes sustainability reporting automatic, accurate, and actionable — not a quarterly crisis.

The sustainability data challenge Dutch organisations face

Manual ESG data collection

Sustainability teams spend weeks manually scraping data from ERP systems, utility bills, and supplier spreadsheets to compile quarterly ESG reports. The data is always late and often disputed.

Carbon data fragmented across systems

Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data lives in three different departments with no common format or aggregation layer. Carbon targets are commitments without measurement infrastructure.

Reactive maintenance on critical infrastructure

Wind turbines, manufacturing lines, and grid infrastructure fail unexpectedly. Unplanned downtime costs 5–10× more than scheduled maintenance and carries regulatory reporting obligations.

EU taxonomy and CSRD compliance

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and EU Taxonomy require granular, auditable sustainability data that most organisations simply do not have in a structured, accessible form.

The regulatory landscape you are operating in

CSRDCorporate Sustainability Reporting Directive

Mandatory sustainability reporting for large Dutch companies from 2025. Requires auditable, granular data on environmental, social, and governance metrics.

EU TaxonomyEU Taxonomy for Sustainable Activities

Classification system for economic activities that contribute to environmental objectives. Companies must report the percentage of revenue and capex that is taxonomy-aligned.

SFDRSustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation

Mandatory sustainability disclosures for financial market participants. Requires portfolio-level carbon data and ESG risk classifications.

SER Energy AgreementDutch Climate Agreement (Klimaatakkoord)

National framework for reaching 49% CO₂ reduction by 2030. Industry sector agreements require measurable progress reporting.

What we build for energy and sustainability organisations

From automated CSRD reporting pipelines to ML-powered predictive maintenance — practical AI and data engineering that turns your sustainability obligations into operational advantages.

📊

Automated ESG reporting pipeline

Connect all your ESG data sources — utilities, ERP, fleet management, procurement — into a unified Azure data platform. Produce CSRD-compliant reports at the click of a button rather than the effort of weeks.

CSRD complianceEU TaxonomyAutomated reporting

Real-time carbon footprint tracking

Live dashboards showing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions updated in near real-time as consumption data flows in. Set targets, track actuals, and identify reduction opportunities by facility, process, or supplier.

Predictive maintenance for infrastructure

ML models trained on sensor and operational data predict equipment failures 48–72 hours before they occur — for wind turbines, HV substations, pumping stations, and manufacturing equipment. Replace reactive repairs with scheduled maintenance windows.

Energy grid and consumption optimisation

Forecast energy demand, identify consumption peaks, and optimise load distribution across facilities. AI-driven scheduling of high-consumption processes to off-peak tariff periods reduces energy cost and grid strain simultaneously.

IoT data platform for environmental monitoring

Centralised ingestion and analysis of sensor data from industrial equipment, environmental monitors, and smart meters. Scalable Azure IoT architecture that handles millions of data points per day.

Azure IoT HubStream AnalyticsData Lake

Centralised Azure architecture for real-time carbon tracking

Moving sustainability data to a centralised Azure architecture fundamentally changes what is possible. Instead of quarterly manual extractions, you get a live view of your carbon footprint updated as consumption events happen — from smart meters, production systems, and logistics data.

Azure IoT Hub ingests telemetry from industrial sensors and smart meters at scale. Azure Stream Analytics processes it in near real-time, applying emission factors and aggregating by facility, process, or cost centre. Power BI dashboards update automatically — your sustainability manager sees today’s carbon position, not last quarter’s.

When audit time comes, every data point has a chain of custody — from meter reading through aggregation to the final CSRD disclosure figure. Auditors get a complete, traceable dataset rather than a manually assembled spreadsheet.
