Building a data-driven sustainability practice. How Liberty moved from chasing spreadsheets to assurance-ready Scope 1, 2 and 3 reporting across 43 properties on DASH Ascent.
Liberty is a leading Pan-African financial services group and the insurance arm of the Standard Bank group — described internally as the group's “fourth pillar.” Its business spans the Liberty Property Portfolio alongside a broad insurance book covering short-term, life, and corporate benefits products.
Liberty operates under Prudential Authority oversight covering climate change, water, waste and energy management, and physical and transition risk, and is now working toward IFRS S1 and S2 compliance. GCX partnered with Liberty to move sustainability data management from a manual, compliance-driven exercise to a strategic, technology-enabled practice.
Liberty's environmental and climate reporting programme is aligned to the TCFD recommendations, tracking Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, water and waste across owned buildings and leased space against net-zero commitments of 2030 to 2040 for Scope 1 and 2, and 2050 for Scope 3. With six Green Star-certified retail assets and reporting against selected KPIs, the reliability of the underlying data is imperative.
Before working with GCX, Liberty's sustainability data collection was largely regulatory in nature — driven by which regulations applied rather than by strategy. That created a set of hands-on, day-to-day problems.
