Nowadays, the issue of sustainability and corporate responsibility towards the environment, society and its own employees is becoming more and more topical. In order to adapt to changing legislative requirements, companies need to have a clear overview of their impact on the planet and the community. For companies just starting out in this area, it is not easy to get to grips with ESG issues and non-financial reporting requirements. A quick ESG Scan from Green0meter can help.

What is an ESG Scan?

It is an innovative tool that helps companies navigate ESG and sustainability reporting quickly, efficiently and without the need for costly extensive data collection. If you are taking your first steps on the sustainability journey, are subject to CSRD requirements or are required to have an ESG survey by a customer, there is no need to order comprehensive consulting services straight away. First, you can quickly map your impact in key ESG areas, i.e. the environmental, social and governance aspects of your business.
The ESG Scan is a short questionnaire that follows the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) methodology. This methodology is an internationally recognised standard for sustainability reporting, used by 78% of the world's 250 largest companies. The GRI standards are also the credible metric on which the mandatory ESRS sustainability reporting standards adopted by the European Union have been developed.

A short questionnaire will quickly show you where you stand in each area

The ESG Scan starts by completing a questionnaire that focuses on key aspects of your business impact in the E, S and G areas. You don't even need to provide data on your carbon footprint if you don't have it, or are just about to calculate it. We will estimate your climate impact based on a sector average in your industry. This way, it takes no more than 15 minutes to complete the questionnaire.
The result will be a report that shows where you stand today in each area, as well as providing you with a set of recommendations on how your business can improve its positive impact, reduce its carbon footprint or create a better environment for your colleagues. Another great benefit is that all of your data will remain in our platform environment, so you can compare your firm's progress in a year's time against where you started.
The ESG Scan is the perfect tool to help you get a handle on ESG issues, identify areas of focus or what type of data you may need to collect in the future. With the recommended steps, you can easily test individual measures to increase the positive impact of your business and evaluate their success.
