Hanasaki: cuando los datos florecen

In Japanese, Hanasaki means “the flower that blooms.” We chose this name because it symbolizes the moment when something carefully cultivated begins to bear fruit. In our case, that “something” is data. And what blooms is the ability of organizations to transform their sustainability efforts into an operational, strategic, and ethical advantage.

Over the past few years, we’ve analyzed dozens of sustainability tools. Many of them offer attractive interfaces, visual dashboards, and reporting features. But they all shared a critical limitation: control over the data.

"The underlying issue: who owns the data?"

Within the context of the new European regulatory framework—especially the CSRD Directive and the ESRS standards—companies need more than just a visually appealing tool. They require a data architecture that is robust, auditable, and, above all, owned by them. Traditional SaaS solutions, where data resides on external servers and follows closed logic, are no longer sufficient.

Hanasaki was born in response to this need. It is not just a reporting tool. It is a sustainability digitalization platform that enables organizations to own their data, model it according to their operational realities, and scale it toward new scenarios. We focused on bringing all ESG+F data together in one place. From the beginning, we knew we needed a secure, reliable, and scalable platform—and our partnership with Microsoft’s Sustainability teams has been key. We started working with them four years ago, from the very beginning of their first Cloud for Sustainability offering.

"The key: Data Collection as a Strategic Pillar"

One of the most important lessons we've learned along the way is that data collection is not a technical step — it's a strategic act. In Hanasaki, the Double Materiality module (DMA) was designed from the ground up to capture, structure, and govern sustainability data with precision and traceability. And from this foundation, we’ve developed more than ten additional modules, allowing each client to choose the ones that best fit their needs.

All modules are designed to coexist with the client’s existing systems, because the key lies in having a single, unified container of ESG+F data. This approach ensures interoperability, flexibility, and full ownership of the data, enabling organizations to scale their sustainability strategy with confidence.

Thanks to an architecture based on Power Apps and Power BI — and extended to Microsoft Fabric for clients with higher demands — and fully developed by our team, Hanasaki enables:

• Integration of internal and external sources to build a unified ESG data foundation.

• Design of workflows tailored to each ESG dimension (environmental, social, governance).

• Full data ownership by the organization, without relying on closed SaaS solutions.

• Preparation of data not only for regulatory compliance (such as CSRD), but also for use in artificial intelligence models, predictive analytics, and operational decision-making.

• Seamless integration with Microsoft Sustainability Manager, without being limited by its native constraints.

• Integrarse con Microsoft Sustainability Manager sin depender de sus limitaciones nativas.

"In the end, it can truly bloom.".
