Datamaran has launched Harbor, a new global community platform designed specifically for in-house corporate sustainability professionals.
The launch of Harbor comes in response to growing challenges faced by sustainability leaders, including intensifying regulatory pressures, rising stakeholder expectations, and increased scrutiny of ESG practices. Many professionals in this space are expected to spearhead transformative change with limited resources and under mounting scrutiny.
Founded in 2014, Datamaran is known for its AI-driven ESG risk management platform, which empowers companies to navigate ESG compliance, strategy, and reporting. The company has established itself as a trusted provider of insights and tools for sustainability professionals.
Harbor is positioned as a safe and supportive digital space where sustainability leaders can connect with peers, access timely information, and find inspiration. It offers a range of features including a peer community, expert content, and practical tools that help users stay compliant and resilient in their roles.
The platform includes weekly regulatory and policy updates, a monthly newsletter on key ESG trends, a global calendar of free events, and a job board featuring career opportunities. Access is free for professionals working in ESG strategy, risk, reporting, compliance, and communications.
Datamaran is also launching Harbor+, a subscription-based premium tier. This offering includes quarterly policy briefs, exclusive online sessions with regulators and standard setters, and access to peer-led roundtables and workshops, providing deeper engagement and insights for subscribers.
This product builds on Datamaran’s longstanding commitment to the ESG community, which has included thought leadership, events, and expert guidance. Harbor represents a significant step in consolidating those efforts into one platform, designed to empower sustainability professionals globally.
Datamaran recently launched DMA Evaluate, a next-generation upgrade to its double materiality assessment capabilities aimed at transforming how companies manage and respond to evolving ESG issues.
The launch of DMA Evaluate responds to a growing need for companies to streamline how they conduct materiality assessments. Under new regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), businesses are required to regularly disclose how material risks, opportunities, and impacts (IROs) evolve over time. Traditional spreadsheet-based assessments are proving to be outdated, inefficient, and unable to meet the demands of continuous compliance.
DMA Evaluate is designed to give companies a more agile and efficient way to manage double materiality assessments. The tool allows users to refresh or replicate existing assessments within minutes rather than weeks, reducing the need for external consultants. This means businesses can remain responsive to both internal developments and external changes, such as regulatory shifts or emerging stakeholder expectations.
Key features of DMA Evaluate include AI-driven insights to detect regulatory or market changes, automated workflows for subject matter expert engagement, dynamic compliance tracking, and robust audit trails. It also offers a secure space to manage IRO libraries, providing organisations with traceability and audit-readiness. By offering a period-over-period view of ESG data, it supports better decision-making across the business.
