Vimian Group chooses Sweep for carbon and ESG accounting, CSRD compliance

Background

Vimian Group is a global, fast-growing group of innovation-driven companies focused on improving animal health. Vimian operates across four business segments: Specialty Pharma, MedTech, Diagnostics, and Veterinary Services. With a strong entrepreneurial culture, it brings together leading companies that share a mission of advancing veterinary medicine to improve the well-being of animals worldwide.
Vimian believe that every animal deserves the best available care. The company brings pioneering businesses together to make the market’s most innovative offerings accessible to more animal health professionals and pet owners.

Challenge

With the introduction of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Vimian will need to report on several hundred new sustainability metrics. To ensure efficiency and transparency in data gathering and reporting, the company identified the need for a comprehensive sustainability data management platform.

After conducting a GAP assessment in collaboration with the finance team and undergoing an extensive evaluation of eight different suppliers, the decision was made to partner with Sweep as the platform for CSRD and ESG reporting.

Solution

Ellen Broström, Vimian’s Sustainability (ESG) Director, highlights several reasons for choosing Sweep. Firstly, it meets the company’s platform requirements. “Sweep offers the structure, functionality, security, and user-friendliness necessary for a seamless reporting process, along with being auditor-approved”, says Ellen.

The choice of Sweep was made across more than one department, with the software emerging as the preferred choice for Finance and ESG teams. After an in-depth review and demo comparison of various providers, Sweep emerged as the first choice due to its comprehensive capabilities.

Sweep’s high degree of flexibility & customization proved to be key differentiators. Ellen Broström says:
“Sweep provides the highest level of flexibility in setup compared to competitors, allowing Vimian to tailor the platform to the unique needs of each segment”.

Beyond technical capabilities, Vimian commended the Sweep team who took part in the process of demonstrating the platform, describing them as “highly knowledgeable in their area, pedagogical and solution oriented … from the first call through to the current onboarding process of the platform”.
Ellen summarizes: “We are confident that Sweep will be instrumental in helping us navigate the complexities of CSRD compliance and Carbon accounting, and enhance our overall ESG reporting capabilities”.
