Datamaran Launches Core To Boost ESG Risk Reporting

Datamaran, a leading provider of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) risk management software, has announced the launch of its new flagship product, Datamaran Core, aimed at transforming how companies identify, manage, and report ESG risks. The release signifies a significant evolution in the company’s platform capabilities, aligning with the increasing global demand for robust, audit-ready ESG practices.

The newly launched Core Product marks a strategic expansion of Datamaran’s governance technology into a broader suite, now known as the Datamaran Suite. Specifically designed for in-house sustainability, legal, and risk professionals, Core is built to meet the growing expectations of ESG disclosure and strategic integration. This innovation comes at a crucial time, as regulatory bodies across the globe continue tightening requirements for ESG transparency and reporting.

According to Marjella Lecourt-Alma, CEO and co-founder of Datamaran, Core equips organizations with the tools needed to transform ESG from a compliance burden into a strategic advantage. “Core gives companies the capabilities they need to confidently run repeatable, audit-ready assessments while remaining agile in the face of shifting requirements,” she said. The goal is not just to ensure compliance, but also to empower companies to embed sustainability deeply into their governance and business decision-making processes.

One of the most significant advancements Core brings is automation and efficiency. Traditional ESG processes often rely heavily on static spreadsheets and manual assessments, which are time-consuming and prone to human error. Datamaran Core changes that with AI-powered workflows that streamline these assessments, reduce operational friction, and significantly increase the speed and reliability of sustainability reporting.

The product also stands out for its regulatory readiness. With global disclosure requirements evolving rapidly—particularly in regions such as the European Union, North America, and Asia-Pacific—companies are under pressure to demonstrate their ESG credentials in a consistent and verifiable manner. Core’s audit-ready and systematized methodology ensures companies can align with multiple disclosure frameworks, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and other jurisdiction-specific mandates.

Another defining feature of Core is its ability to embed ESG into enterprise-level decision-making. By facilitating cross-functional collaboration, Core connects sustainability professionals with risk managers, legal teams, and C-suite executives. This ensures that ESG is not siloed but integrated across business functions, contributing to enterprise risk assessments and broader governance strategies.

The product also enables frequent, customized analyses, allowing users to zero in on material ESG issues relevant to their industries and operations. This helps sharpen organizational focus and improve the quality and relevance of ESG disclosures.

Datamaran Core includes several purpose-built modules tailored to support end-to-end ESG management:

• The Materiality Assessmentmodule offers an evidence-based workflow that helps organizations prioritize the most relevant ESG topics for their operations and stakeholders.

• The IRO Hub(Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities Hub) translates key ESG themes into structured insights that companies can use to shape their strategies and communications.

• DMA Evaluateprovides tools for tracking versions and conducting reassessments, ensuring that ESG reporting stays current with regulatory and organizational changes.

• The Monitoring, Report & Regulatory Searchfunction keeps users updated on emerging trends, benchmarks, and shifts in the policy landscape that may affect their ESG priorities.

• Finally, Datapoints Export + Assurance Packfacilitates robust audit preparations by enabling the export of verified data and documentation aligned with reporting standards.

Beyond the platform’s technical capabilities, Datamaran is also expanding the community aspectof ESG leadership. With Core, users gain exclusive access to Harbor+, a premium extension of the company’s newly launched ESG professional network. Harbor+ provides member-only events, direct access to experts, and proprietary resources such as the Quarterly Policy Brief, designed to keep ESG professionals informed about global policy changes and industry benchmarks.

The launch of Core reflects Datamaran’s broader mission to democratize access to ESG expertiseand offer scalable solutions that meet the needs of companies of all sizes and industries. By combining AI-powered analytics with regulatory foresight and a strong professional community, the company aims to empower organizations to shift from reactive ESG compliance to proactive, strategy-driven sustainability leadership.

In a world where investors, regulators, and consumers increasingly demand transparent and accountable corporate behavior, Datamaran Core is positioning itself as an essential tool for companies striving to stay ahead of the curve. With Core, ESG is no longer just a reporting requirement—it becomes a driver of innovation, competitiveness, and long-term value creation.
