Sustainable Compass is a digital ESG platform from GPI, designed to diagnose and assess the level of sustainable development of companies. The tool is adapted to the regulatory environment of Kazakhstan and helps organizations build international ESG reporting and meet the requirements of supply chain partners.
The key advantage of Sustainable Compass is its high-quality expert assessment combined with scalability. Diagnostics are carried out by GPI Group specialists — Kazakhstan’s leading consulting structure in the field of ESG and sustainable development.
Combining practical expertise with a flexible digital architecture, Sustainable Compass offers one of the most in-demand solutions on the market: companies can determine their ESG maturity level, identify growth points, and build a realistic sustainable development roadmap.
What the Company Receives
Personal ESG Profile (with expert verification)
The final profile reflects the current maturity level across three key blocks — Environment, Social, Governance. Management practices, environmental impact, occupational health and safety conditions, personnel rights, and business ethics standards are documented. The document is formatted for internal presentations and negotiations with management.
Structured Analytics: Strengths and Risk Zones
The company receives a clear breakdown on the principle of ‘what exists → what is missing → what to do’. This format saves management team resources, enables rapid prioritization, and allows comparison of current practices with partner requirements and international standards.
Recommendations for Priority Steps
A specific action plan is formed: development of policies and procedures, definition of metrics and goals, building data collection processes and role distribution, organizing communications and training. If needed, a transition to extended diagnostics and professional support is possible — with a detailed work plan, KPIs, and performance monitoring.
Additionally — upon request:
- preparation for international reporting (including supply chain requirements);
- cross-functional sessions with client teams;
- methodological materials and training programs.
