Emvert exists because a Nigerian listed company preparing its first sustainability disclosure has two options: a consultant who bills in dollars, or a platform built for a grid, a currency and a regulator that are not theirs. Neither is good enough for what the next four years require.
01
Built specifically for FRC, SEC, and ISSB S1 & S2. Removes the question “am I doing this right?”
02
Raw data to submission-ready report in hours, not the weeks a consultant takes.
03
Nigerian grid emission factors, local supply chains, Naira pricing. Global tools do not understand this.
In 2023 Nigeria committed to sustainability reporting on a fixed timetable. The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Reporting Council adopted the ISSB’s global standards, and a date was put against each category of company. From that moment, a disclosure that had been voluntary and vague became mandatory and testable.
What did not arrive alongside the rules was the infrastructure to meet them. The consultants who serve this market are good, and expensive, and finite — there are not enough of them to carry every NGX-listed company through an annual cycle, and the ones who exist charge accordingly. The international platforms are genuinely excellent software, and they were built for a company drawing continuous power from a European grid, filing to a European regulator, paying a European invoice.
Run a Nigerian reporting cycle through one of those platforms and the arithmetic breaks quietly. A site that spends half its day on diesel generation has most of its emissions in Scope 1, not Scope 2 — but a tool that assumes grid supply will not ask. The number it produces is internally consistent and externally wrong, and nobody notices until someone with local knowledge reads the report.
Emvert is the third option. Nigerian emission factors, the FRC and SEC report structures, evidence attached to every figure at the moment it is entered, and an annual licence your finance team can approve without going to treasury for dollars.
These are not values on a wall. Each one is a decision we have already made, and each one costs us something.
We would rather be the only platform that handles Nigerian diesel generation properly than the twentieth that handles forty markets shallowly. Every feature is judged against whether it helps a company file here.
The bill is attached when the reading is recorded, because attaching it six months later is the step that does not happen. This makes data entry slightly slower and assurance dramatically cheaper. We think that is the right trade.
Regulatory detail changes, portals change, and emission factors get revised. Where we are certain we say so; where we are not, we say that too. A compliance vendor that oversells its certainty is worse than no vendor.
FX exposure on a compliance tool is a procurement problem, a budgeting problem and a renewal problem. Billing in Naira means our pricing moves with our customers' reality rather than against it.
You can export your full dataset — figures, calculations and evidence documents — at any time, including the day you decide to stop paying us. Lock-in should come from the product being good, not from the exit being painful.
These dates are set by the regulators, not by us. They are the reason the product exists and the reason it is being built at the pace it is.
