Frequently asked questions

What do you mean by “a profitable investment ecosystem”?

A profitable investment ecosystem ensures consistent alignment with your investors’ ESG and financial goals and instills confidence for continuous funding.

How are we supposed to gather data from our portfolio companies when we don’t have access to their systems?

There are multiple ways you can gather this data with the FigBytes ESG Insight Platform, including:

Bulk upload: The portfolio companies can provide their ESG data files and you can bulk upload them into the platform.
Surveys: Create and send surveys to companies in your portfolio to directly request the information that you and your investors require. You can manage all the surveys and the responses within the platform!
Integrations: The platform can integrate with third party systems and platforms via API to automatically collect required data. If companies in your portfolio are tracking their ESG data on different systems, we will work with them to automate data flows into the FigBytes platform.

Our investors just informed us of their emissions reduction and net-zero goals, along with the mandatory ESG disclosures and reports that they now must adhere to. What does that mean for us and where do we even start?

With the rising focus on climate change and the environmental impact of businesses, an increasing number of government agencies and stakeholders are holding organizations and investors accountable for their emissions reduction and net-zero promises.

You can start by aligning your portfolio management strategy with your investors’ ESG goals. For example, ensure that the companies in your portfolio are environmentally conscious, that they currently track (or soon will) their Scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Once you’ve collected the necessary information to satisfy your investors’ reporting requirements, it’s also crucial that you can present the insights to stakeholders in an engaging and easy to understand way. FigBytes offers a single, comprehensive ESG Insight Platform that aligns your strategy, captures data, automates reporting, and engages your stakeholders.
