Dynamic Environmental Accounting
Environmental assessments are highly time-dependent.
Influencing factors include:
- Manufacturing process
- Materials and resources
- Transportation routes and methods
- Energy sources
- Supply chains
- Operational procedures
- Emission factors
- CO2 pricing
Environmental assessments, therefore, have a limited validity period and require regular updates. This ensures that achieved sustainability goals and tax implications are always accurately reflected.

Example:
ESG Data Space for a Swiss Army Knife
Let’s consider the production and lifecycle of a Swiss Army knife as an example: The Ecoflexx Sustainability Management supports the manufacturing company in determining the CO2 emissions for the knife’s production, distribution, operation (including warranty and service), and disposal or recycling at the end of its life. When data and facts from different knife manufacturers and products are available, they can be compared based on consistent criteria in terms of €-based metrics (TCOCO2).
Experience the Swiss Army knife example live and in action. Schedule a video call to get acquainted.
Product Features
- ESG Data Space: The ESG Data Room functions as a central repository for storing and managing CO2 footprints and emissions. It enables secure, pseudonymized storage of data needed for sustainability analyses and allows for the import of data from third-party systems for comprehensive analysis.
- ESG Explorer: This tool is used to visualize, capture, and edit footprints and emissions. It allows for the combination of different emission types, such as materials, logistics, and energy, with corresponding emission factors. The Explorer calculates CO2 emissions and associated costs based on this data and provides the ability to store supporting documentation for calculations and results.
- Reporter: The Reporter generates Product Carbon Footprints and reports, listing footprints and emissions across the entire supply chain and assigning emissions to the various lifecycle phases of a product.
- Dashboard: The dashboard provides an at-a-glance view of the top 5 emission drivers and the total emissions through clear and concise graphics.
- Ecoflexx Portal: Flexible access to sustainability and third-party software. Includes modules such as Viewer, Composer, Reporter, and integration with third-party systems. Additional features include guided tours, custom boards, and websites.
- Extensions on demand:
- Sustainable Procurement: Modules for tenders and a bidder portal. Comparative evaluation of offers based on the Composer and PCF Lifecycle Report.
- Viral Supply Chains: Integration of suppliers into the emissions data collection process through digital questionnaires. Controlled transfer of data into the ESG Data Space.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): Virtual advisors for creating reference processes, benchmarks, supporting the decarbonization process, and supplier research.
