Telema can help with ESG

ESG is not just about saving trees. Although transferring from paper-based and PDF invoices to e-invoices aids in that as well (see How many trees did your company save?). ESG is also about reducing waste in terms of useless manual work. This is where Telema can help all of its customers. By automating information flows in purchase, sales and accounting processes, we eliminate redundant tasks and enable businesses to operate more efficiently.

Deciphering ESG: More Than Just Letters

ESG, or Environmental, Social, and Governance, constitutes a framework for responsible and sustainable management of a business.

Environmental (E): Focuses on a company’s ecological practices, energy efficiency, waste management, and overall environmental impact.

Social (S): Evaluates relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the community, including labor practices, diversity, inclusion, and community engagement.

Governance (G): Assesses leadership, internal controls, and structures, examining board composition, executive compensation, and financial transparency.

ESG goes beyond just saving trees – it’s about making our work smarter and more efficient, as well as increasing the entrepreneurs’ responsibility toward our planet. Shifting from paper and PDF documents to e-invoices or EDI is a step in the right direction, and Telema is here to make it easy for its customers.

• Enhancing Governance and Transparency – EDI systems provide a structured approach to data exchange, ensuring consistency and accuracy in financial reporting, supporting good governance, and enhancing transparency.
