Be prepared:
With AMANA software to the consistent ESG reporting
The depiction of ecological (environmental), social and governance influences has become increasingly important in recent times and many companies can no longer imagine doing without them. Accordingly, extensive changes in sustainability reporting are imminent. Many companies are obliged to report on environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects for the first time by 2025. The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires approximately 50,000 companies in the EU to provide detailed sustainability reports as part of a digital management report - and many other international initiatives around the world are in the process of making this mandatory for non-EU companies as well.
Find the latest information from the current Exposure Draft of the European Sustainability Reporting Standard (ESRS) in our blog post.
Below are the challenges that arise from the current reporting and publication process that can be easily implemented with our solutions:
- How to calculate, collect and consolidate the required data points by using solutions from AMANA partners.
- Using disclosure management software to be able to work collaboratively on the sustainability statements.
- Automate the data flow from various sources into management reports in order to eliminate manual and error-prone process as well as to optimize the last-mile reporting process.
- Options how to handle formatting and the production of glossy and ready-to-print reports in Word or InDesign as well as online reports.
- Digital tagging of sustainability and financial statements with the ESRS or ISSB XBRL taxonomy.
- Auditing and publication of the final report.

ESG: quick and easy implementation with LucaNet Collecting, analyzing and reporting sustainability data
Companies must become greener, more sustainable and socially just. To prove this, they need to have ESG reporting in place; which will also apply to many medium-sized companies from 2024. The reason for this is the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Find out how LucaNet can help you.
The webinar is aimed at specialists and managers responsible for sustainability reporting in the company. In our webinar we will inform you compactly about the main contents and amendments to the Directive; if and when exactly your company is affected and how your ESG reporting can be made easy with LucaNet.

Success stories
Meyer Burger
AMANA supported us in the implementation of the SmartNotes Disclosure Management System for external reporting. The implementation project and the automated processes were an excellent experience for our team. In our Annual Report all major contents including our Financial Reports as well as the ESG contents (Environment, Social and Governance) of the report are maintained in SmartNotes. The charts have been built in Excel according to the Corporate Design standards with automated data feeds. The source system is IBM Cognos with automated connections to numbers in charts, tables and to numbers in the text. The ready-to-publish format from Word eliminated the manual InDesign work and significantly improved the process effiency.
Swissquote Bank
We are using SmartNotes for our Annual Report production process. All contents are maintained in SmartNotes in a ready-to-publish format from Word including the following parts: Financial Report, Remuneration Report, Corporate Governance Report as well as Sustainability Report. The numbers in the tables, charts and texts are interconnected and connected to the source data, they are updated automatically for each data load throughout the report. SmartNotes has significantly helped us to automate the process and reduced the correction efforts.
