Optimize sustainbility and financial performance

with the Insights7 Platform

The goal is sustainable corporate value

Sustainability/ESG represents both risks and opportunities. The goal is using sustainability as a driver of performance and value. Insights7 enables you to integrate your financial and sustainability data into a single platform to deliver on this promise. Our platform is organized around a customizable value chain structure in which you evaluate how you’re doing today—and where you can confidently make the most impactful improvements going forward. This structure helps turn sustainability into a driver of overall business value optimization that benefits customers, stakeholders and shareholders.

Our approach helps you move seamlessly from the big picture, systems view of the value chain to the focused view of optimizing the work done in individual value chain links:

"I took over as President amid very difficult circumstances for our company.  Despite having a very capable team, we had very little operational definition, ownership, and direction - which made for a lot of uneasiness.  We engaged Insights7 to help us get to operational health as quickly as possible. To say they exceeded our expectations is an understatement.  Their system is incredibly methodical, efficient, and effective.  Our team is now unified, focused, and confident in our ability to achieve our business performance goals."
