Introduction
In a world where environmental regulations are tightening and demand for ESG (environmental, social, and governance) solutions is booming, businesses are looking for effective ways to integrate these concerns into their offerings. Instead of developing an in-house ESG management solution, more and more companies are choosing to rely on a partner offering a white-label platform. This approach allows for the rapid launch of a carbon and ESG management solution without complex development while meeting customer expectations.
How to build and launch an ESG offer with a white-label partner?
Creating an ESG platform with a specialized white-label partner requires a strategic and well-structured approach. Here are the key steps:
Define your positioning and understand market needs: Analyze demand, identify key features expected by users, and track ESG trends.
Choose a reliable technology partner: Select a platform that complies with regulations (Bilan Carbone®, GHG Protocol, CSRD) and offers regular updates.
Customize the offer and interface: Adapt branding, features, and workflows for seamless integration into the company's ecosystem.
Facilitate technical integration: Ensure compatibility with internal tools through API and other connectors.
Train teams and support clients: Implement training programs and technical support to maximize adoption.
Deploy an effective marketing and sales strategy: Position the offer in the market, highlight its benefits, and educate potential clients.
Why choose a white-label ESG platform?
Opting for a white-label ESG solution provides several major advantages:
Faster time-to-market: Rapid deployment without high development costs.
Reduced financial and technical risks: Benefit from proven technology without heavy investment.
Advanced customization: Adapt the platform to your branding and your customers’ specific needs.
Compliance and continuous updates: Ensure adherence to regulations and integrate the latest ESG developments.
Optimized user experience: Provide an intuitive and efficient tool to increase client engagement.
Key features of a white-label ESG platform

The platform should allow full customization: logo, colors, terminology, dashboards, and tailored reports.
2. Automated carbon and ESG calculations
Leading solutions integrate a precise calculation engine based on updated databases and recognized methodologies.
3. ESG reporting and regulatory compliance
A high-performance platform should offer automated reports compliant with regulations (CSRD, SFDR, GHG Protocol, Bilan Carbone®).
4. Integration with internal systems
A good ESG tool should provide connectors and APIs for seamless integration with existing management systems.
5. Performance tracking and ESG objectives
Interactive dashboards should be available to monitor key indicators and drive an effective ESG strategy.

1. Enterprises and industrial groups
Large corporations need a turnkey ESG solution to measure, manage, and improve their environmental impact.
2. Consulting firms and ESG experts
Consulting firms can offer a white-label ESG platform to their clients to structure their carbon reduction strategies.
