OAK enables you to automatically report on your ESG requirements related to electricity. This includes ESOS, SECR, ISO 50001 and other compliance certifications.
ESG compliance reporting, if done manually, can be a cumbersome process. Managing the data collection and analysing them manually can lead to errors. This is where ESG software comes in. It offers a comprehensive and user-friendly platform which allows you to streamline the compliance procedures and maintain transparency throughout the process.
ESG software automates various aspects of the reporting process, enabling businesses to:
Centralise data collection: ESG software can gather data from various sources, which includes financial systems, energy bills, waste management records, and employee surveys.
Streamline data analysis: The software utilises built-in tools to analyse and interpret complex data sets, identify trends, and measure performance against ESG goals.
Generate comprehensive reports: Effortlessly create reports aligned with leading ESG frameworks like GRI Standards and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
Ensure regulatory compliance: Stay updated on the changing regulations and meet reporting requirements in various jurisdictions.
Improve stakeholder engagement: Communicate ESG performance effectively to investors, customers, and other stakeholders.
ESG software is constantly transforming, with many new features and functionalities coming up to address the growing demands of businesses. Here are some key trends shaping the future of the sector:
Integration with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
AI and ML capabilities are being integrated into ESG software which will revolutionise automated data analysis, identify risks beforehand, and provide predictive insights for better management.
Enhanced data security and privacy

An industrial manufacturing company was experiencing a significant increase in their electricity bills, despite a great electricity rate. They struggled to identify the underlying cause of their escalating costs, as their energy consumption kept increasing.
That’s when they decided to partner with OAK Network to conduct an electricity optimisation analysis. OAK’s team of experts performed a comprehensive review of the client’s energy usage and identified several areas where they could reduce their energy consumption and costs.
The recommendations provided were customized to suit the specific energy needs of the manufacturing industry and aimed to assist in achieving optimal energy savings.
Once the energy-efficient solutions are implemented, OAK Client should see a significant reduction in their electricity consumption and costs. An impressive £60,008 of annual savings are predicted to be achieved.
OAK’s solutions will also help manufacturer to reduce their carbon footprint and promote sustainability, aligning with the company’s corporate social responsibility goals.
In this case study, we explore how OAK Network helped a shared office space identify their energy savings potential. With multiple businesses operating within the building, energy usage was a significant expense that needed to be addressed.
By conducting a thorough energy audit, OAK was able to pinpoint areas of inefficiency and waste. The audit results revealed that shared space owners were wasting around £100 per day, leading to an annual wastage of £37,000.
As energy costs make up a substantial part of operational expenses, reducing electricity consumption is a crucial concern for the hospitality industry. In the context of this case study, the hotel’s annual electricity consumption is expected to be around £360,000.
