Can Datamaran’s AI Tech Redefine ESG Strategies?

Datamaran, the market leader in AI-powered risk and governance tools, is releasing it’s new Datamaran Suite (DS).

DS is a powerful, modular platform designed to equip companies with everything they need to run an always-ESG strategy.

Built on the foundation of Datamaran Core, DS is set to introduce new tools for benchmarking, governance and decision making – including the IRO Benchmarking module.

The IRO benchmark

At the centre of the DS’s capabilities is the IRO benchmarking, a module that allows companies to compare their disclosed impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs).

DS allows for companies to compare IROs against those of peers across industries as well as geographies.

Datamaran’s intelligence enables:

• Alignment with industry norms
• Disclosure gap highlights 
• Internal governance strengthening.

DS’s intelligence is carried out by equipping executives with evidence-backed insights.

“Your IRO disclosures are a reflection of your strategic priorities,” says Marjella Lecourt-Alma, CEO and Co-Founder at Datamaran.

“With Datamaran Suite, companies gain a clear view of how their disclosures stack up and just as importantly, they get a scalable system that reflects the complexity of ESG today. 

“Our clients tell us they value the efficiency of having materiality, regulatory monitoring and benchmarking in one place. 

“At the same time, we’re listening closely to those who want even more tailored insights and specialised support and we’re building with those in mind.”

As well as the IRO Benchmarking module, Datamaran has also enhanced its Materiality workflow with a new Multiple Reviewers feature.

Enhanced IRO evaluation

Alongside IROs Benchmarking, Datamaran has rolled out a huge upgrade to its Materiality Analysis workflow – part of Core and Suite: the Multiple Reviewers feature.

With this latest enhancement, companies can now assign up to 25 reviewers per topic when assessing IROs. 

Drawing on input from a broader range of internal stakeholders leads to more comprehensive and consistent evaluations.

Once all reviews are submitted, the platform’s automated scoring logic calculates the average, ensuring a transparent and auditable result that supports governance requirements.

Broad oversight on one platform

DS brings together Core’s AI-powered materiality capabilities with enhanced governance tools.

“Datamaran Suite brings together audit-ready materiality analysis with powerful benchmarking and collaboration tools – enabling cross-functional teams to make boardroom-ready decisions backed by insights into best practices, regulatory developments and peer trends,” explains Marjella.

DS’s enhanced governance tools include:

• Topics Benchmarking: Gain insights into how peers define and address ESG issues to strengthen your own strategic positioning
  
  
• Target Setting: Establish ESG goals backed by data and aligned with stakeholder priorities
  
  
• Harbor+ Access: Engage with a global network of ESG professionals, benefit from regulatory updates and participate in peer discussions.

All modules function within a unified, secure platform, offering sustainability, risk, legal and compliance teams complete oversight and improved strategic direction.
