Jason Marine Group (JMG), a Singapore-based provider of marine communication equipment and services, has been a leading force in the industry for over 48 years. Commended across the marine, offshore, oil and gas sectors, JMG houses a comprehensive range of marine electronics products, solidifying its position as a market leader in Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region.
With its industry subjected to stringent ESG regulations, the company takes serious responsibility for integrating compliance, safety, and ethical practices in every aspect of its business. As Singapore advances corporate responsibility with progressive policies, JMG recognised the need to enhance its ESG practices by leveraging technological solutions.
To stay compliant and agile, JMG searched for ESG software to streamline its sustainability audit and reporting. After thoroughly evaluating many ESG software providers, JMG partnered with Convene ESG due to its superior functionality, including intuitive OCR-powered data entry that significantly reduces manual input.
“Most of the platform functionalities are the same, but I proposed Convene ESG, as the other platforms mainly focus on compliance and reporting aspects. While Convene ESG, with the OCR capability, allows us to also reduce manual data entry, resulting in higher efficiency,” a JMG representative noted. Additionally, Convene ESG offered competitive pricing that met JMG’s budget requirements.
Reducing Errors and Enhancing Efficiency with ESG Reporting Software
JMG’s key objectives upon acquiring Convene ESG were to centralise data management and streamline sustainability reporting. Designed to innovate how companies like JMG perform sustainability initiatives, Convene ESG employs digital solutions and smart features to make processes paperless, seamless, and synchronised.
Before adopting Convene ESG, JMG relied on manual processes—mainly using Excel sheets—to consolidate data from multiple locations and departments. This resulted in data errors and inconsistent formatting, compromising the credibility of their sustainability reports.
With the implementation of Convene ESG, JMG has streamlined data management by consolidating all entry points into a single and secure platform. It allows JMG to assign individuals and departments to handle data collection, providing greater ease of use and accessibility. Functions, such as automated data entry and real-time graph updates, have further improved efficiency, making previously laborious processes less tedious.
Enabling seamless data entry, the advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature helped JMG simplify the extraction of information from documents through scanning. Since adopting Convene ESG, JMG has significantly enhanced data accuracy, resulting in more reliable and credible sustainability reports.

The impact of Convene ESG extends beyond operational efficiency—it has positioned JMG for long-term sustainability with its future-proof approach to ESG reporting. By streamlining data collection, processing, and reporting, JMG also ensured readiness for the ever-evolving ESG landscape.
Convene ESG empowers JMG to meet changing regulatory standards in the marine industry by consistently updating reporting templates on the platform. The ready-to-use templates allowed JMG to produce standard-ready sustainability reports in less time, optimising the process for long-term compliance.
On top of that, Convene ESG’s team of experts provides greater support through its advisory and recommendations. The team’s guidance notify JMG on how the most recent regulatory changes affect its developing and previous reports, assuring the company remains aligned.
