ESG Reporting FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions on ESG and Sustainability Reporting
As a retailer, am I required to conduct ESG reporting and publish an ESG report?
Retailers with up to 1,000 employees are not subject to direct legal mandates: since the EU Omnibus Package, the CSRD only applies to companies with more than 1,000 employees and over €450 million in turnover. However, large corporations are required to evaluate their supply chain under the CSRD – through the trickle-down effect, this creates indirect pressure on smaller suppliers. Those unable to provide ESG data lose tenders.
How do I calculate my company's Scope 1 emissions for ESG reporting?
Scope 1 encompasses your organisation's direct emissions—for SMEs, this primarily relates to fuel consumed by company vehicles (diesel, LNG, etc.). The ESGLift software automatically converts these quantities into tonnes of CO2 using official conversion factors, streamlining your ESG reporting.
What is the difference between VS and ESRS for sustainability reports?
The ESRS are the highly complex standard for large corporations. The Voluntary Standard (VS) is the simplified, voluntary version designed precisely for SMEs. ESGLift is based entirely on this pragmatic VS standard.
