Enhancing sustainability and reputation: Varta's success with ESG Analysis
ESG analysis has played a key role in helping Varta align its operations with sustainable and ethical practices, resulting in performance improvements and enhancing its reputation as a responsible organisation.

Drowning in documentation
Before incorporating ESG Analysis into its operations, Varta's approach to sustainability and governance was guided by broad principles rather than defined metrics. Although committed to responsible practices, the absence of structured ESG data made it more difficult to assess alignment with evolving industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
As a supplier, one of the key challenges faced was managing the extensive documentation and compliance requirements. The process was manual and time-consuming, often resulting in delays, placing pressure on internal resources, and affecting the ability to meet deadlines efficiently.
"Being part of the Hellios community and using ESG Analysis has greatly
streamlined our compliance processes."

The automation of data collection reduced manual workload and minimised errors. ESG Analysis enabled the company to more efficiently monitor and report on environmental, social, and governance metrics, improving accuracy and ensuring timely submissions. This transformation supported a more agile and transparent approach to ESG compliance.
