16 September 2025

Dear Mitigate ESG Platform users,

We are excited to share the latest updates and enhancements to the Mitigate ESG platform! Our continuous development aims to make your reporting experience even more efficient and user-friendly.

Please take a look at the news below, categorized into two sections:

New features
Other improvements

New features

Enhanced E3 Data Points

We’ve integrated the new E3-4 Data Point for “Share of the measure obtained from direct measurement, from sampling and extrapolation, or from best estimates”, giving you more precise control over your water-related disclosures. Additionally, we’ve updated the English and Latvian descriptions for all E3 data points to fully comply with the latest standards.

Advanced Translation Capabilities

We’ve significantly expanded the platform’s translation functionality:

You can now translate Data Point titles and Company-Specific Disclosure Requirements and Data Points. Simply navigate to the Translations section, choose the relevant tab, and add your translations.
When creating new countries for Emission Factors (in GHG Emissions section → Emission Factors → Countries), you can now add translations for these countries in the Translations section → Emission Factors Tab.
In tables, it’s now possible to view countries in your selected language.
To boost your efficiency, the system now remembers your last chosen language in the Translations section. The previously selected language will automatically be pre-selected each time you open the section.

Sub-topic Adjustments & Sub-sub-topic Implementation

We’ve implemented a new sub-sub-topic level throughout the platform. Existing sub-topics have been renamed according to the latest standards and replaced with these new sub-sub-topics where necessary, providing a more granular and precise structure for your data. You can view the new structure in the table below:
