The Challenge

At TDG they had begun trying to track Scope 1 and 2 data across all 30 subsidiaries, however faced significant challenges in doing so. With 30 different companies coming together under one umbrella, there was a massive challenge around data aggregation given that most data lived in many different systems and formats.

Due to this, like many other organizations, TDG was forced to rely on manual and error-prone Excel-based processes, which not only consumed valuable time and resources but was also highly error prone. Due to the complex structure and nature of a holding company, they didn’t have a way to get a single view of their ESG and Sustainability impacts both on a corporate level or across each subsidiary. This lack of cohesion across all subsidiaries, and lack of a single overview at a corporate level hindered decision making and overall transparency.
With the above challenges, TDG also faced very limited reporting capabilities. With inefficient data aggregation, a general lack of transparency, and so many moving parts across all the subsidiaries, reports were extremely limited. Given these challenges and the ever changing global landscape of ESG and Sustainability, TDG recognized the need for strategic solutions to streamline their operations, improve data management, and enhance transparency.

Overview of Challenges:

• Disparate Data Sources

• Manual, error prone, inefficient, and Excel based processes.

• Inability to see subsidiary views and corporate views

• No digital audit trail

• Lacking transparency 

• Limited Reporting

The Solution 

To address their significant challenges TDG decided to partner with Sustaira and adopted the Sustaira Sustainability platform with a Super-Tenant model and the Carbon Accounting application tailored to fit their subsidiaries needs. 

Now, TDG has the ability for each and every 30 subsidiaries to track their Scope 1, 2  and Scope 3 emissions in the same format, easily and efficiently. This information then feeds back up to the TDG Super-Tenant and creates a corporate view of their ESG and Sustainability data.
This setup provides TDG a centralized data hub that creates a fast, easy and online space to track goals and KPIs. This is integrated with their core systems to eliminate the use of spreadsheets and the previously manual, error-prone, inefficient processes.
