Question 1

Will Klappir keep us compliant as regulations change?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because Klappir's infrastructure is built on a standardized data model rather than locked to a single framework, your data stays structured and usable as regulations evolve. When CSRD requirements expand, when new ESRS standards are published, or when you need to report to GRI or CDP simultaneously, your underlying data doesn't need to be restructured, you generate the appropriate output from the same source.

Question 2

Why aren't sustainability reporting tools enough for CSRD?

Accepted Answer

Reporting tools assume clean, comparable inputs and focus on formatting outputs for compliance. CSRD breaks that assumption by requiring multi-year consistency, entity-level traceability, and audit-ability across complex value chains, none of which can be retrofitted at the reporting layer. Without an infrastructure foundation, reporting tools are forced to compensate through manual mappings, spreadsheet logic, and fragile assumptions.

Question 3

How does CSRD reporting work on top of a data infrastructure?

Accepted Answer

CSRD reporting sits as a thin regulatory layer on top of a robust data infrastructure that already contains structured, traceable, resource-level data. The infrastructure provides standardized inputs, activities, resources, quantities, units, assets, suppliers, and time, while CSRD logic applies ESRS-specific calculations, aggregations, and narratives without reshaping the underlying data. In other words, CSRD consumes data; it should never define it.

Question 4

Can I generate CSRD-ready sustainability statements directly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The platform supports CSRD/ESRS-aligned statements as well as GRI-ready reports. Statements are grounded in verified, auditable transaction data rather than manual compilation.

Question 5

How does the EU Omnibus simplification affect CSRD?

Accepted Answer

The EU Omnibus I package, agreed in December 2025, significantly narrows the scope of CSRD: only companies with 1,000+ employees and €450 million+ turnover are now required to report under ESRS. Mandatory data points have been reduced from roughly 1,073 to around 320, sector-specific standards have been removed, and Wave 2 and 3 reporting has been delayed by two years. Companies that fall out of scope still face voluntary reporting expectations from investors, customers, and lenders, and the VSME voluntary standard the Commission will publish is based on the same underlying data needs. Fragmentation actually increases demand for a regulation-agnostic data layer. Klappir's value was never tied to maximizing data points; it's tied to structuring resource data once so it can serve whatever framework comes next.

Question 6

Does Klappir include a double materiality assessment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The platform includes an interactive double materiality assessment module "Klappir Strategy" that helps you identify and evaluate sustainability topics from both impact and financial perspectives, as required under CSRD.

Question 7

How does Klappir handle multiple reporting frameworks simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

Because all your data is structured through one canonical model, you can generate reports for different frameworks, ESRS, VSME, GRI, CDP, SFDR, from the same data source. You do the work once; the platform maps to each framework's requirements.

Question 8

How does data get into Klappir?

Accepted Answer

The platform supports three methods: fully automatic (API connections, utility providers, and other systems), semi-automatic (file uploads via FTP), and manual entry. Most organizations use a combination. Over time, the goal is to automate as much as possible to reduce manual effort and improve accuracy.

Question 9

What is the difference between activity-based and spend-based data?

Accepted Answer

Spend-based data estimates emissions from financial expenditure (e.g., "we spent €10,000 on fuel"). Activity-based data captures actual consumption quantities (e.g., "we used 5,000 litres of diesel"). Klappir prioritizes activity-based data because it's significantly more accurate for carbon accounting, benchmarking, and setting reduction targets.

Question 10

Can I collect sustainability data from suppliers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Klappir's Value Chain and Due Diligence features allow you to request, collect, and verify sustainability data from your suppliers. Because the platform uses a shared data standard, supplier data integrates directly without manual reformatting.

Question 11

How do you manage supplier sustainability data at scale?

Accepted Answer

By standardizing how data is requested and ingested, not by chasing questionnaires. Suppliers submit data against a shared model with predefined structures and validation rules, enabling automation, comparability, and selective disclosure without endless manual follow-up or bespoke templates.

Question 12

How does Klappir make sustainability data audit-grade?

Accepted Answer

Sustainability data becomes audit-grade when it is complete, consistent, traceable, and reproducible. Klappir ensures this through immutable records, versioned calculations, controlled access, documented methodologies, and a clear chain of custody from source to disclosure. Audit-grade data is engineered from day one, not "cleaned up at year end."

Question 13

Does Klappir support Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon accounting?

Accepted Answer

Yes, fully aligned with the GHG Protocol. The platform accounts for direct emissions (Scope 1), purchased energy (Scope 2), and value chain emissions (Scope 3) using activity-based calculations rather than spend-based estimates.

Question 14

Can the same data be used for compliance and operations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When data is collected at the resource and activity level, not at the KPI or report level, operational teams use it to manage efficiency, costs, and performance, while compliance layers apply different calculations and aggregations on top of the same foundation. The data model is neutral to purpose: it describes reality once, and multiple lenses, operational, financial, regulatory, are applied afterward.

Question 15

Does Klappir offer real-time dashboards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Visual dashboards provide real-time insights into sustainability performance. Depending on the frequency of data automation and input, you can track KPIs, monitor trends, and drill into specific data points.

Question 16

Do I need to be a data expert to use Klappir?

Accepted Answer

No. The platform is designed to be intuitive for sustainability professionals. You don't need a technical background to collect data, run reports, or use the dashboards. For deeper data capabilities, APIs and integration tools are available for your technical team.

Question 17

What kind of ESG data can I manage in Klappir?

Accepted Answer

Energy, emissions, waste, water, travel, fleet, procurement, and supplier data.

Question 18

Does Klappir help manage suppliers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through the Value Chain and the Due Diligence features.

Question 19

Does Klappir provide audit trails?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every data point is traceable and timestamped.

Question 20

Is Klappir suitable for group reporting?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it supports multi-entity consolidation. You consolidate resource data across subsidiaries via shared canonical data model while allowing local data ownership. Each subsidiary reports data in its own operational context, but all data conforms to the same definitions, units, classifications, and structures, making consolidation a deterministic process rather than a manual reconciliation exercise.

Question 21

Can we track ESG performance by asset or site?

Accepted Answer

Yes, data is tagged by asset, legal entity, or supplier.
