Future Planet to manage CSRD compliance for GMC Utilities
GMC Utilities has entered a strategic partnership with ESG data platform developer Future Planet to ensure meets its compliance obligations under the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
“At GMC Utilities, our commitment to sustainability and regulatory compliance is paramount. By collaborating with Future Planet, we are taking a significant step forward in aligning our operations with the latest ESG standards and reporting requirements,” said Shane McCloskey, managing director of GMC Utilities.
“We specialise in six core sectors – water, gas, power, telecoms, public sector, and renewables – and embedding sustainable practices is key to delivering even greater value to our customers and partners. This partnership underscores our dedication to integrating sustainable practices into every facet of our business, leveraging the Future Planet platform to do so.”
GMC Utilities has a range of projects throughout Ireland and the UK, including major utility (water, wastewater, gas, electricity and telecom) networks, transport infrastructure and renewable energy.
Future Planet was founded in Ireland in 2021 by sustainability and supply chain experts Donal Daly and Ingrid De Doncker. The company’s software uses artificial intelligence to inform sustainability strategy, implement transition plans, manage ESG data and emissions, and automate reporting for regulatory compliance.
Debbie Power, chief commercial officer at Future Planet, said: “Our aim is to make it easy for them [GMC Utilities] to meet their compliance obligations while centralising their ESG data. The Future Planet platform makes it simple for everyone to collaborate and for the business to build and execute a clear roadmap that will help them achieve their sustainability targets.”
Elaine Casey, environmental and sustainability manager at GMC Utilities Group, added: “At GMC Utilities, our purpose is to build Ireland’s infrastructure for a healthier and greener future. We are committed to carrying out all our works in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner. This partnership with Future Planet marks a significant step in our ESG journey. We are excited to have them onboard to assist us in conducting a double materiality assessment, which will underpin our ESG Strategy. The platform itself will play a central role in collecting and managing our ESG data, and supporting our disclosure requirements.”
