Digitalizing Your Sustainability Reporting – In Use at DFGE
At DFGE, we are an official partner of EQS, which offers the EQS Sustainability Cockpit (formerly Daato) – a comprehensive software solution designed to meet regulatory ESG requirements.
The EQS Sustainability Cockpit is a modular ESG management tool tailored specifically for companies to efficiently meet the growing demands of sustainability reporting and ESG data management in a digital format. The platform enables structured, collaborative data collection and provides extensive reporting capabilities aligned with current regulatory frameworks.
DFGE & EQS – Our Collaboration
As a trusted EQS partner, our DFGE experts support clients throughout the implementation and use of the software. We combine our long-standing ESG expertise with the technical capabilities of EQS to deliver tailored solutions – from initial setup and data collection to analysis and final reporting.
At DFGE, we remain software-independent – our goal is always to find the best and most effective solution for each client. We prioritize the solution that delivers the greatest impact for sustainability. That’s why we offer both our own tools and those of trusted partners like EQS – but we also support clients using other sustainability management software such as SAP, Salesforce, or Microsoft. Our consulting services range from defining requirements and selecting tools to implementation, usage, and independent evaluation of results. Our philosophy: a tool is only as powerful as the intelligence that uses it.
