Energy Data according to ESRS E1-7
Structured recording of energy consumption from fossil sources, renewable energies and nuclear power – 13 energy types with automatic normalization to MWh, breakdown by energy source, plausibility checks against the previous period, and import via the REST API. Changes to energy consumption automatically trigger recalculation of greenhouse gas emissions. Analysis by locations and periods.
Efficiency Measures and Targets
Document energy efficiency measures and link them to your ESRS E1 targets. Progress tracking and automatic report generation included.
Target Management
Target Management
Structured ESG target management for your CSRD reporting. Define sustainability targets, link measures and action plans, monitor progress and integrate Science Based Targets (SBTi) including a compatibility check.

CSRD/ESRS Compliance
CSRD/ESRS Compliance
Complete support for CSRD reporting obligations according to ESRS – designed for all 10 topical standards (E1–E5, S1–S4, G1) plus the cross-cutting ESRS 1 and ESRS 2. All modules are productively available. Disclosure Requirements are covered in a structured way – including an integrated double materiality assessment. A dedicated EUDR module checks applicability for the regulated commodities, guides you through due diligence with geolocation, and generates due diligence statements with a machine-readable XML export. Each disclosure report offers an optional GRI appendix with coverage per GRI disclosure requirement (e.g. E1 → GRI 302/305, S1 → GRI 401–407) – one data basis serves both frameworks; a CDP export is planned.

Double Materiality Assessment
All material topics covered: corporate culture, anti-corruption, whistleblower protection, supplier relationships and political engagement in accordance with ESRS 2 IRO-1 and SBM-3. The existence of anti-corruption and whistleblower protection policies is documented per reporting period – including a statement when absent, the applicability of whistleblower law and the designation of exposed functions; which statements are required is derived automatically from the materiality assessment.
All topical standards
Every ESRS topical standard with its own module
Alongside climate change (E1) and business conduct (G1), the remaining eight topical standards and the EU Deforestation Regulation are fully available – each as a dedicated module with its own materiality assessment, policies, targets, actions, its own report generator and integrated reference datasets (incl.

AI Support
AI Support
AI-powered support with over 60 AI features across 18 feature families for efficient CSRD reporting. From intelligent data completion through automatic, cross-module text generation to automated plausibility checks – for time-saving ESG reporting. Every AI feature can be activated and deactivated per tenant – with call and time limits; results are proposed for adoption, never stored unchecked. You choose the AI provider yourself and configure it per team, with your own access (OpenAI, Langdock or OpenAI-compatible) – keeping you in control of which provider processes your data.
AI Assistant Across All Modules
Our AI supports you across all modules: through the emission factor selector it suggests matching factors, checks your inputs for plausibility and consistency, and assists with report text formulation.
Automated Data Collection
AI-supported suggestions reduce manual input: emission factor suggestions, NACE code suggestions and material and waste classifiers complete your data – each against stored reference lists. Completeness and plausibility checks safeguard data quality against ESRS requirements.
24 Languages
The user interface and documents are available in 24 languages – for international reporting and multilingual teams. Glossary-supported translation keeps ESRS terminology consistent across all languages. Disclosure reports are generated in the active interface language, including the AI-supported narrative sections.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Every data entry, calculation and change is automatically documented and versioned. The system stores emission factors used, calculation methods and data sources in a fully traceable manner. Your auditor receives a complete audit trail for external assurance. Reporting periods pass through a fixed lifecycle (Draft → Active → Closed); a closed period can be reopened with documented justification, so that corrections identified subsequently remain possible.
preeco offers automatic GHG calculations according to GHG Protocol, integrated emission factor databases, automated plausibility checks and complete audit trail documentation. Changes are versioned and calculations are traceable, and you generate reports at the click of a button (PDF, DOCX; XBRL export planned) – everything Excel cannot deliver.
The system calculates Scope 3 emissions automatically based on your recorded activity data and the stored emission factors. You can integrate suppliers directly via the supplier portal to collect primary data. The GHG emissions calculation supports all 15 Scope 3 categories. Further information can be found in the user manual in the "GHG Calculation" section.
Yes, preeco | sustainability is multi-tenant capable and supports corporate group structures. You can create any number of organizational units, define reporting boundaries and generate consolidated reports. Switching between units is done with a single click. Further information can be found in the user manual in the "Organizational Structure" section.
The system guides you step by step through the creation of your Transition Plan. You document your decarbonization levers, define measures and assign them to your climate targets. AI support helps you with formulation and structuring. The finished plan can be directly incorporated into your sustainability report. A step-by-step guide can be found in our user manual.
Yes. preeco | sustainability is used across industries – from SMEs through industry and manufacturing to large and capital-market-oriented corporations – and is multi-tenant capable for group structures. Entry is low-threshold: cloud instances are provisioned within 48 hours (on working days), with no setup fees and no cancellation periods, and support is provided in German and English with defined response times. This allows CSRD reporting to be built even with small teams and no dedicated sustainability department.
preeco | sustainability is designed for all 10 topical ESRS standards (E1–E5, S1–S4, G1) plus the cross-cutting ESRS 1 and ESRS 2. All 10 topical standards (E1–E5, S1–S4, G1) are fully and productively available. The double materiality assessment, the sustainability report with an automatic omission note for non-material sub-topics, and the complete audit trail for external assurance are available today.
Four things are decisive: first, complete standard coverage – the software must map all relevant ESRS standards including data points, not just excerpts; second, an integrated double materiality assessment that focuses reporting on the topics that are actually reportable; third, audit-ready documentation with an immutable audit trail, versioning and traceability of every figure for external assurance; fourth, low-threshold operation – provisioning without long lead times, multi-tenant capability for group structures, and reports at the push of a button. preeco | sustainability fulfills all four criteria and is hosted exclusively in ISO 27001-certified data centers in Germany (Cloud and Private Cloud), optionally as On-Premises.
For mid-sized companies, CSRD software should offer full ESRS coverage while remaining usable without a dedicated sustainability department. preeco | sustainability covers all 10 topical ESRS standards (E1–E5, S1–S4, G1) in full, guides you through the double materiality assessment, and calculates the carbon footprint according to the GHG Protocol including all scopes.
