ESG Reporting FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions on ESG and Sustainability Reporting
Why are banks suddenly demanding ESG data for construction projects?
Financial institutions are subject to stringent EU regulations, including the Green Asset Ratio (GAR). Banks are required to disclose the sustainability performance of their loan portfolios. Consequently, lenders now demand comprehensive ESG reporting, detailed sustainability data, and climate risk assessments to secure project finance.
What are Scope 3 emissions in the construction sector, and why do they matter for ESG reporting?
While Scope 1 and 2 emissions remain relatively straightforward to measure, Scope 3 encompasses all upstream and downstream activities within the supply chain. In the construction sector, this primarily concerns the embodied carbon in building materials such as concrete, cement, and steel, as well as emissions generated through waste disposal and end-of-life treatment, representing a critical focus for comprehensive ESG reporting and sustainability strategies.
How do I calculate Scope 1 emissions for ESG reporting?
Your company's direct emissions (Scope 1) primarily arise from fuel combustion. Simply enter the volume consumed in litres, and our platform will automatically calculate your carbon footprint in tonnes of CO2 for your ESG reporting.
Is the VS standard sufficient for construction companies?
For mid-sized construction companies, the VS standard is the ideal entry point recommended by the EU. It covers the essential data requirements that major clients demand from their supply chain partners.
