Software for the Environmental Sector

The Netherlands is at the forefront of the European sustainability transition, with ambitious climate targets and strict environmental regulations. Businesses, governments, and environmental organisations must comply with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), measure CO₂ emissions according to the GHG Protocol, and report ESG performance to stakeholders. Meanwhile, environmental data is becoming increasingly complex: from air quality sensors and water quality measurements to waste streams and energy consumption. Custom software makes it possible to centralise all these data streams, analyse them automatically, and convert them into actionable reports. MG Software builds sustainability platforms that help organisations measure, report, and reduce their environmental impact.

Pain points

• Manual collection of environmental data from dozens of sources (sensors, invoices, suppliers) into Excel spreadsheets
• Complex CSRD/ESG reporting requirements with no integrated system available that covers all indicators
• Lack of real-time insight into air quality, water levels, or noise levels in monitoring projects due to outdated data systems
• Difficult carbon footprint calculation (Scope 1, 2, and 3) due to fragmented data across energy, transport, and supply chain
• Missing traceability in waste streams making circular economy targets neither measurable nor demonstrable

Our solutions

• Central environmental data platform that automatically collects and harmonises sensor data, energy invoices, transport data, and supplier information
• Automated ESG/CSRD reporting engine that converts data into reports compliant with ESRS standards with full audit trail
• Real-time environmental monitoring dashboard with IoT sensor integrations for air quality (PM2.5, NO₂), water levels, noise, and soil quality
• Carbon tracking module that calculates Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions according to the GHG Protocol and monitors reduction targets
• Waste stream tracking system with RFID/NFC registration, sorting analysis, and circularity reporting per material stream

Benefits

• Up to 80% time savings on ESG reporting through automatic data collection and report generation compliant with CSRD standards
• Real-time environmental insights through IoT sensor networks continuously monitoring air quality, water levels, and noise
• Demonstrable CO₂ reduction through detailed Scope 1-2-3 tracking and real-time progress monitoring towards climate targets
• Better compliance through automated audit trails and reports meeting Dutch and European environmental regulations
