Why sustainability managers switch to fabular.

The industry's three biggest challenges - solved.

Almost all companies with sustainability responsibilities face these problems – before switching to an integrated ESG system.

Challenge 01
ESG data in Excel silos, not report-ready
CO₂ emissions, energy consumption, social metrics, and progress on measures are recorded in spreadsheets that are not interconnected. During reporting season, this leads to manual effort – with the risk of errors and time pressure.
fabular: All ESG data centrally captured, automatically consolidated, and always ready for reporting – for CSRD, GRI, DNK, and internal stakeholders.
Challenge 02
Measures without clear responsibility and evidence
ESG measures are decided upon but not systematically tracked. Who is responsible? By when? With what evidence? Without a structured action register, initiatives get lost or remain undocumented.
fabular: Guided ESG onboarding with an action register – responsibilities, deadlines, and evidence documented in an audit-proof manner, progress transparently trackable.
Challenge 03
Supply chain obligations are hardly manageable manually
The Supply Chain Due Diligence Act and the CSRD require evidence across the entire supply chain. Without system-supported risk analysis and supplier evaluation, compliance is difficult to prove – and evidence is missing during audits.
fabular: AI-powered risk analysis with automatic prioritization – supply chain risks identified early, measures documented, and auditable evidence provided.
ERP for Sustainability & ESG

What a sustainability ERP must achieve.

An ERP System for Sustainability and ESG must do much more than a standard ERP: It must natively support ESG action management, CO₂ accounting, supply chain transparency, AI-powered risk analysis, and CSRD-compliant reporting – all within an integrated platform that makes sustainability goals measurable.

fabular integrates sustainability management directly into the operational ERP platform. The logic – from guided ESG onboarding and AI image recognition for action verification to automated reporting – is firmly integrated into the platform, not implemented as a standalone solution.
