Now, not tomorrow

For business owners and managers, environmental risks aren’t theoretical future concerns - they’re impacting your bottom line right now.

Your operational efficiency faces immediate risk: research across 23 advanced economies confirms that each extreme heat day measurably reduces labor productivity, with smaller businesses suffering the most severe impacts.

During the July 19, 2022 heatwave, cooling-water temperatures at the Doel nuclear site in Belgium soared, forcing operator Engie to reduce output by 1/2 overnight. One scorchingly hot day, and a cornerstone of the national grid had to throttle back - heat doesn’t just slow people down; it can knock critical infrastructure offline and cascade through production schedules and energy bills instantly.

Supply-chain resilience? When record floods tore through Wallonia in July 2021, two meters of water surged into Galler’s Liège chocolate plant, destroying machinery and stock, forcing a three-month production standstill that cost the company roughly €12 million. Simultaneously, road logistics across Belgium seized up: late shipments jumped 18% in the week the waters peaked, with warehouse dwell times climbing 14%.

Add incoming PFAS regulations that will require significant operational changes across multiple industries, and the business case is clear: assessing your risk exposure today, and addressing it through robust ESG reporting, prevents escalating costs tomorrow.

Your stakeholders need transparency now too

Banks are rewriting their risk models around ESG risk - EBA’s final guidelines land in January 2026, and financial institutions expect credible transition data well before then.

Insurers are sharpening premiums based on these same signals, while investors increasingly demand forward-looking climate and social metrics. If you’re a supplier to another company, they need to assess their supply chain too, making your ESG report essential for them as well.

Provide facts and credible plans to keep your financing costs low, insurance policies affordable, and purchase orders flowing - and secure a long-lasting competitive advantage. Stay vague and you pay through wider spreads, higher deductibles, or lost tenders.

True: sustainability reporting used to be a real pain

Double-materiality meant weeks of desk research before you could even see a risk map. ESRS spreadsheets ballooned into hundreds of line items. Draft-review-redraft cycles stole whole quarters from already-thin teams. Meanwhile everyone, from the bank to your customers, wanted their own format. No wonder most CEOs saw ESG reporting as an admin tax rather than a source of insights and competitive advantage.

Not anymore

Karomia fixes the grind. Its AI-driven platform absorbs all available information - from studies to documents you already have like policies, strategy presentation, prior ESG reports, even invoices - then auto-builds an ESRS- or VSME-aligned report in hours, not months.

You get:

• A trustworthy double-materiality matrix for impact, risk, and opportunity assessment
• A standard ESG report that tracks progress on your sustainability initiatives, so you can invest based on data, not the loudest voice
• A single report that works for all stakeholders, eliminating duplicate questionnaires

About sixty companies have already slashed workload by up to 90% using Karomia, and preparing now saves significant time and money compared to last-minute compliance. Early adopters sail through at their own pace while others pay premium prices for rushed solutions and risk incomplete ESG reporting. With Karomia, you build an advantage that grows stronger as standards tighten.

Bottom line: the climate clock is ticking, stakeholders are watching, but the ESG reporting headache is optional. With Karomia, you nail compliance, reduce noise, and free your team to focus on real impact - starting today.
