Key Highlights
- OptiSol collaborated with a leading pharmaceutical manufacturing firm to replace manual spreadsheet-based ESG tracking by implementing the intelligent elsAi ESG platform, ensuring a more structured, efficient, and centralized data management process.
- The client faced increasing compliance risks, delayed reporting, and fragmented ESG data across departments. Manual processes, low visibility, and a lack of audit readiness made sustainability reporting both time-consuming and error-prone.
- OptiSol deployed its elsAi ESG platform, built using Gen AI, to streamline emissions tracking, automate ESG reporting, establish strong governance for the client’s manufacturing operations, and address inefficiencies in data handling and report generation.
- The platform enabled the client to continuously monitor Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, generate audit-ready reports with built-in validations, and track ESG progress in real time using customized dashboards and visual insights.
Problem Statement
01
Manual Processes: The client used spreadsheets scattered across departments to manage ESG metrics. This caused data silos, duplicate entries, and frequent errors, making it difficult to maintain consistency and data accuracy over time.
02
Compliance Pressure: With ESG regulations becoming stricter, the client struggled to meet disclosure standards. They lacked a unified system to generate standardized, traceable reports, putting their compliance and investor trust at risk.
03
Low Visibility: Key sustainability leaders did not have access to real-time insights on emissions, energy consumption, or waste metrics. This made it hard to track ESG goals, respond quickly, or make informed decisions.
04
Audit Challenges: Preparing for ESG audits was a time-consuming effort. The team had to manually gather and validate data from different sources, often facing last-minute issues due to inconsistent records and missing documentation.
Solution Overview
01
OptiSol implemented its Gen AI solution, elsAi ESG, tailored for pharmaceutical manufacturing. It automated data consolidation from sources such as ERP systems, energy meters, and utility bills to ensure consistent and reliable ESG data capture.
02
The solution offered ready-to-use modules that tracked Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, monitored water and waste metrics, and followed GRI-aligned templates for structured and standards-compliant ESG reporting across all business units.
03
Custom real-time dashboards were configured to show plant-wise and company-wide performance. These dashboards helped teams visualize ESG progress, monitor key targets, and track regulatory compliance in a clear and actionable format.
04
The system generated audit-ready reports with pre-built data validations, automatic versioning, and detailed logs. This removed manual reporting errors and ensured transparency for internal reviews and external ESG audits.
05
The platform included role-based access for various departments such as sustainability, finance, and operations. This allowed each team to view, update, and manage ESG data relevant to their role, improving governance and collaboration.
Business Impact
