The Situation
Sustainability at CoreX
For CoreX, sustainability is more than a regulatory requirement — it’s a strategic priority. As global environmental and social challenges intensify, the company has made sustainability a central part of its long-term vision, embedding it across business practices, stakeholder relationships, and operational processes. They aim to lead by example and inspire progress across its industries.
In 2022, CoreX established an ESG department to drive its sustainability agenda forward. The department is led by the Chief ESG Officer, who also chairs the company’s ESG Committee. This governance structure ensures a coordinated and consistent approach to ESG efforts, supported by specialized sub-committees and working groups. Through this framework, CoreX is well-positioned to execute its sustainability strategy with clarity, accountability, and long-term impact.
Furthermore, CoreX focuses on creating a robust and scalable sustainability data infrastructure that supports both compliance and innovation. The adoption of digital tools like Sunhat plays a critical role in enabling this strategy.
The Challenge
More Efficient Answering of Inquiries through Dynamic Use of Data for Various Sustainability Requests
In view of the increasing demand for sustainability information - be it through questionnaires from stakeholders or the CSRD - CoreX was faced with a major challenge: it lacked a central point of data for the increasing sustainability data. The company was therefore looking for a solution to create a central database that would also optimize data management processes and ensure compliance with all changing standards and reporting requirements.
“Sunhat’s AI-assisted disclosure generation tool genuinely understands how data and evidence fit together to provide concise and accurate answers. It’s not just auto-filling – it’s thinking with context, using our company’s information and indicators. It allows us to provide faster responses with fewer errors and gives confidence that our submissions are correct, without the hallucination risks.”
