Evidence scattered across spreadsheets, folders, and email
Teams can find the number, but not the controlled record behind the number.
CSRD governance & assurance infrastructure
Make every CSRD datapoint sign-off ready.
Codex ESG gives finance, sustainability, legal, and audit teams a shared control layer for evidence, approvals, versioning, and board-level sign-off across complex entities.
Reporting perimeterEntity ownership and role accountability across group structures.
Evidence recordSubmissions tied to source files, reviewer decisions, and version history.
Sign-off pathFinance, sustainability, legal, audit, and board gates in one controlled workflow.
Your CSRD risk is not missing data. It is uncontrolled evidence.
Most enterprises can collect sustainability data. The hard part is proving who owned it, what evidence supports it, who approved it, what changed, and whether the board and auditor can rely on the process.
No clear owner for each datapoint
Accountability disappears when disclosure work moves across entities, functions, and consultants.
Approvals happen outside the system
Review decisions become meeting notes, email replies, and unmanaged file versions.
Auditors cannot reconstruct the chain of custody
Evidence exists, but the process behind collection, review, rejection, and sign-off is fragmented.
Governance layer
One governance layer between ESG data and board sign-off.
Codex ESG does not replace your source systems. It orchestrates the CSRD governance workflow around spreadsheets, ERP, BI, ESG dashboards, carbon platforms, and consulting outputs.
Entity and role configuration
Map reporting entities, functions, reviewers, and signers to the actual operating model.
ESRS datapoint ownership
Assign every disclosure datapoint to accountable owners with clear review routes.
Evidence-backed submissions
Require attachments, source references, notes, and attestations before review.
Approval and rejection workflows
Move decisions out of inboxes and into controlled gates with reviewer context.
Immutable version history
Preserve what changed, when it changed, and who accepted the change.
Read-only auditor trail
Give assurance teams a reconstructable record without exposing uncontrolled working files.
From assigned datapoint to auditor-ready evidence trail.
Codex ESG turns disclosure work into a controlled progression: accountable owner, evidence pack, reviewer decision, locked version, and sign-off record.

reviewer: Legal
Approve
Accept or reject with comments, routing the work to the next control gate.
gate: Audit
Audit trail
Preserve owner, evidence, approval, rejection, and version history.
trail: read-only
Sign-off
Prepare a controlled dossier for management report and board review.
status: sign-off ready
Coexistence
Keep your ESG stack. Control the process around it.
Codex ESG sits above spreadsheets, ERP, BI tools, ESG dashboards, carbon platforms, and consulting outputs. It gives the governance, evidence, approval, and audit layer those systems do not reliably provide.

Codex ESGOwnership, evidence, approvals, versioning, audit trail, entity governance.
Source systemsSpreadsheets, ERP, BI, ESG dashboards, carbon tools, consultant workpapers.
Built for CSRD governance, not generic ESG reporting.
The wedge is controlled evidence, ownership, approval governance, traceability, and assurance readiness.
| Dimension | Generic ESG dashboards | Carbon tools | Advisory-led programmes | Codex ESG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Visualize KPIs and reporting outputs. | Calculate and manage emissions data. | Guide process with external experts. | Control CSRD governance from ownership to sign-off. |
| Evidence control | Often attached after the fact. | Focused on calculation inputs. | Lives across workpapers and shared folders. | Evidence required, linked, versioned, and reviewable per datapoint. |
| Multi-entity workflow | Limited process accountability. | Entity structures vary by emissions model. | Depends on project discipline. | Entity, role, owner, reviewer, and signer model built into the workflow. |
| Approval governance | Often external to the dashboard. | Not the core use case. | Managed through meetings and documents. | Approval and rejection gates are part of the system of record. |
| Audit trail | Partial history around displayed values. | Calculation history, not full disclosure custody. | Manual reconstruction effort. | Owner, evidence, version, decision, and timestamp trail by datapoint. |
| Board sign-off readiness | Supports presentation, not process reliance. | Supports emissions reporting, not full CSRD governance. | Can help, but may not leave an internal process backbone. | Focused on controlled sign-off readiness across the reporting perimeter. |
Built for enterprises where governance pain is real.
Codex ESG is strongest when disclosure complexity crosses entities, functions, systems, and assurance expectations.
Multi-entity or cross-border reporting structures
Fragmented evidence across teams and systems
Board or auditor scrutiny on sustainability disclosures
Recurring consultant dependency without internal backbone
No owned CSRD process layer across the reporting perimeter
Need to move faster than a heavy enterprise implementation project
Clear fit. Clear non-fit.
Codex ESG is not for every sustainability workflow.
It is for teams that already know CSRD reporting is a governance problem, not only a data-collection problem.

A rip-and-replace ERP projectNot source-system replacement
