ESG for SME's and Start-ups
SMEs struggle to manage ESG. The requirements from investors are increasing, the expectations from customers expanding and the regulatory requirements are growing exponentially. For SMEs looking to build and manage their ESG, Speeki has you covered.
Our focus is to support you with the heavy lifting of ESG.
The expectations on companies are now significant with ESG. The good news is that, run properly by experts, an ESG programme is likely to generate money, not cost money. It is all down to how you leverage the programme, how you position it to your advantage and how you manage the costs associated with it.
Speeki is here to help. Engage with one of our team to kick off an initial workshop to explore what we can do to help you leverage ESG.
Managed ESG solutions
Our managed ESG solutions can help manage your entire ESG programme. From risk assessment through to reporting, we can manage your entire system to save you time and give certainty of costs at a set quarterly fee.
Leveraging technology and automation
A big piece of managing ESG is technology. Using the technology to simplify ESG, to track ESG programmes and to support reporting out is key. Speeki has the technology to help manage ESG.
If you don't already have a whistleblowing or incident management solution you will need one.

Why engage with Speeki to help build and maximise your ESG?
Our aim is to be your 'go to' firm when it comes to all things ESG. We hope to win your trust in our products and solutions by focusing on these key benefits to you. ESG requires both technology and services to be a part of any ESG solution, and we are focused on providing integrated solutions that add value to your business.
In most cases our pricing model is fixed price and project-based for services and annual fees for data and technology access. Our focus is to give you certainty of price and comfort of service so that you know we will be there when you reach out to us.
Speeki will always look for ways to get value from your ESG investment. We will challenge you to leverage your investments in ESG in sales presentations with customers, investors and new candidates for employment. ESG must be a value driver, not a cost centre.
We aim for strict openness and transparency in pricing. We do not lead with low prices to then extract higher prices in renewals like most software companies. We are focused on the value proposition for ESG and ensuring that you have clarity in pricing and deliverables.
ESG is growing and changing. As new regulations require different steps, we will guide you on mapping your programme to those new requirements. We will always remain flexible to adjust our projects, pricing and deliverables to meet new changes.
We know that your business is also fighting through economic, financial and regulatory pressure at every turn. As ESG changes and develops, your programme will also need to change and develop. We will do what we can to scale up and scale down as things change and to focus where we can add the most value.
We believe that good project management skills are essential to larger projects, and we always suggest a manager either on your side, or our side, or both. We believe the additional cost will be outweighed by the time and effort in reworking issues.
Speeki is the solution for managing your ESG initiatives in one place.
