Customer Story: Golden Energy Offshore and Metizoft – A Successful ESG Collaboration

Golden Energy Offshore (GEO) has always considered sustainability a core value. They have been early adopters of ISO certifications (ISO 50001, 45001, 9001, and 14001), emphasizing emission reduction, resource conservation, and proper waste management. The company also prioritizes employee well-being and community contributions through sponsorships of local sports teams, cultural projects, and initiatives aimed at improving the lives of those in need. Although ESG reporting was already an established practice before partnering with Metizoft, GEO sought a more professional and efficient solution.

Challenges

Even though they had solid internal data collection, compiling and comparing data from year to year was very time-consuming. Presenting the results in a professional way was also a challenge. They needed a solution that could streamline the process and make the data look more polished and professional.

Why Metizoft?

Golden Energy Offshore already had a long-standing and successful partnership with Metizoft through services like IHM (Inventory of Hazardous Materials), all the way back to the times where it was called Green Passport. When the need for a professional ESG reporting solution arose, Metizoft was a natural choice.

With positive experiences from previous collaborations, GEO looked forward to an efficient process and strong support during reporting intervals. Metizoft was chosen for their user-friendly software, familiarity with GEO, professionalism, and the comprehensive support they could offer throughout the entire process, from data collection to the final report.

Implementing Metizoft's Solutions

Getting started with Metizoft went smoothly. After an initial meeting to clarify expectations and possibilities, a workshop was held with participants from both GEO and Metizoft. Throughout the process, there has been open communication, which has been beneficial for both parties.

Biggest Changes After the Collaboration

With Metizoft's solutions, data is now recorded in a database that automatically compiles the report. This has made the reports more professional and standardized, simplifying the comparison of data from year to year. GEO is also working on implementing APIs to further automate data collection, allowing them to focus more on results rather than reporting itself.

Results

GEO can now present completed, professional ESG reports. The process requires less work, and the reports look impressive.

With more APIs in place, Fagervoll looks forward to even more efficient processes. When asked if he would recommend Metizoft ESG to others, his response is:
