The 6 reasons Swiss SMEs choose structured ESG data
We help you capture, structure and use your ESG data so your team can move from manual reporting to reliable management information for better business decisions.
Start small, scale when needed
Start with Klappir’s free Core Plan and build your ESG data foundation without unnecessary upfront complexity. ESG Connect helps you set up the right architecture from day one.
SME-friendly, enterprise-grade
Built so SME teams can get started without deep ESG expertise, while still creating a structured, scalable data foundation for future requirements.
Less manual work
Move away from Excel files, emails and repeated data chasing. Upload or connect existing data once; Klappir structures, classifies and processes it consistently.
Bring suppliers into the system
Collect Scope 3 and supplier data through structured workflows instead of email back-and-forth. Data becomes traceable, comparable and reusable across reporting cycles.
Assurance-ready by design
Every data point is traceable to its source, with timestamps, classifications and an audit trail. ESG Connect helps ensure your setup follows the right methodology for assurance-ready reporting. If required, our partner Resa Business Audit can support the independent assurance process based on the platform data and documentation. Alternatively we are happy to liaise with client’s existing assurance provider.
Consistent calculations, always current
Emission factors and methodologies evolve. Klappir applies verified factors consistently across your data, helping reduce manual errors and keep calculations up to date.
From Excel ping-pong to managing ESG as a business asset. We replace fragmented spreadsheets with one structured platform.
Klappir turns your sustainability data into an ongoing management system: visible, traceable and audit-ready. ESG Connect ensures the platform is configured correctly for your Swiss SME context.
Strategic Advisory meets Structured Data.
We are proud to partner with Klappir to give Swiss SMEs an audit-ready ESG foundation. While Klappir’s platform standardizes and secures your sustainability data, ESG Connect provides the strategic roadmap, regulatory guidance, and assurance readiness to turn that data into a true business asset.
One structured data foundation.
For VSME, CSRD readiness, customer requests, supplier data, audit preparation and better decisions that help you win future business.
GHG Accounting without the complexity
Complete capture of direct and indirect emissions in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Automated calculation using stored conversion factors - either activity-based or spend-based.
Data Capture in one place
Energy, fuel, water, waste, travel, fleet, procurement, suppliers - each data point tagged by asset, legal entity, supplier and classification.
Reporting
Reports are generated automatically from the same verified data. Switch standards without re-capturing data. Templates are customisable for individual stakeholders.
Audit Trail
Every transaction time-stamped, every change traceable. Seven years of audit-proof data retention. Audits run faster because the platform is already pre-audited.
Your path to an audit-ready ESG database.
Guided by ESG Connect. Powered by Klappir. Pragmatically implemented in 3 to 6 months.
Setup and Data Architecture
Together we define your organisational structure in the platform - group, subsidiaries, sites, assets. Which data sources will be connected (ERP, procurement, energy bills)? Which material topics need to be covered?
Data Connection and Integration
API and FTP integrations, manual uploads, supplier onboarding - depending on the data source. We check data quality, clarify gaps and categorise according to international standards.
Validation and First Reporting
First GHG balance for Scope 1 and 2, gradual extension to the relevant Scope 3 categories. Your first VSME-compliant report generated from verified data.
Ongoing Operation and Audit Support
Your team works independently with the platform; ESG Connect remains available for methodology questions, standard changes and external audits.
