Core Features
ESG Data Collection (Planning Context): Adaptive Planning enables organisations to input ESG-related metrics alongside financial data, structure ESG assumptions and KPIs within planning models, and align ESG inputs across departments and entities.
ESG Metrics Tracking (Management-Level): The platform supports tracking of ESG KPIs relevant to strategy and performance, high-level environmental and social indicators, and targets and progress against ESG objectives. Metrics are management-facing, not operational or granular.
ESG Reporting & Disclosure Support: Adaptive Planning supports ESG reporting by integrating ESG metrics into management reports, supporting internal ESG disclosures, and enabling scenario-based ESG narratives. It can support CSRD and ESRS reporting indirectly, via structured data and governance.
Scenario Planning & Forecasting: A key strength of Adaptive Planning is scenario modelling, forecasting impacts of ESG targets on financial outcomes, and “what-if” analysis (e.g., emissions reduction targets vs costs). This is planning-oriented, not climate risk modelling.
Dashboards & Analytics: Custom dashboards provide ESG and financial KPI views, executive-level insights, and trend and variance analysis. Dashboards are designed for CFOs, finance teams, and executives.
Workflow & Governance: The platform includes structured planning workflows, approvals, and version control, and audit trails inherited from financial planning processes.
