DNV joins forces with Open-es, the global alliance for sustainability: Delivering independent insights and expertise

Learn how Open-es, an innovative digital platform launched by Eni, Boston Consulting Group, and Google Cloud, is building a global network of businesses dedicated to sustainability—with DNV playing a pivotal role in driving ESG performance and transparency.

Open-es: Uniting businesses for a sustainable future
Open-es is a groundbreaking initiative that brings together companies, associations, financial institutions and organizations in a unified effort to strengthen sustainable supply chains. By fostering collaboration within this ecosystem, Open-es drives the growth of responsible business practices across industries and borders.

The Open-es digital platform is a catalyst for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) progress in global supply chains. By providing tools for companies to measure, analyse, and improve their ESG performance, Open-es enables businesses to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices in a truly collaborative way.

The project is built on three main pillars:

  1. Collaboration: Empowering businesses to tackle shared sustainability challenges.
  2. Transparency: Encouraging openness by allowing companies to evaluate their ESG efforts against global standards.
  3. Innovation: Driving the exchange of cutting-edge ideas and solutions.

With over 25,000 companies across 104 countries and 66 industries already engaged, Open-es is building an international network committed to creating sustainable solutions. Large-scale global cooperation is key to addressing the pressing climate and environmental issues we face today.

Overcoming ESG reporting complexity
The journey to effective ESG reporting is often overwhelming for many organizations. As regulations evolve, stakeholders demand more transparency and consistency in sustainability efforts, yet navigating this complex landscape is a challenge. Companies need tools that not only help them meet these demands but also guide them through the energy transition, while generating value and building trust.

Open-es addresses these challenges by connecting companies, people, and organizations in a collaborative ecosystem, enabling real progress toward sustainability and value creation.
