KATALYSTI

KATALYSTI

The name Katalysti has two meanings: “catalyst” participates in a reaction and accelerates it without being consumed in the reaction itself, and the ending “lysti” ("fun" in Finnish) refers to the fact that even major reforms are best achieved when a way forward is created through positivity and possibilities. Katalysti Oy was founded in 2010.

Example of a knowledge model in the real estate sector in the joint industry project #kiraESRS

Katalysti has developed a structured information model together with Finreim to manage EU sustainability reporting requirements in accordance with the ESRS standard. The information model has, among other things, implemented a common definition for the Finnish real estate sector. The information model can also be used in preparing for sustainability reporting in other industries or individual companies.

  • Description of the sustainability context and value chain

  • Sustainability topics according to ESRS

  • Dual materiality analysis

  • Disclosure requirements under ESRS

  • Data points

The advantage of an independent ESRS data model is that the customer does not have to commit to a single program or service provider.

Vesa is also the second author of “ Digitalization – a business management manual ” (Talentum).

  • The book helps business leaders understand the opportunities of digitalization, find methods that are suitable for their own business, and lead change in their own company.

  • In the book, digitalization is broken down into three business logics: more / less / new money.

  • The book is based on the authors' own experiences in implementing digitalization projects.

  • The book contains over 50 Finnish case examples of digitalization.

 

The book is available for sale, among others, in the Alma Talent Shop online store.
