Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about ESG data management.
Why is ESG data management relevant for your business?
ESG data management gives you measurable information about, among other things, emissions, energy consumption and material use. That shows you where improvements are possible and lets you put your decisions on a firmer footing.
Reliable measurements also help with setting and tracking reduction targets and with questions from customers, partners, investors and other stakeholders.
Which companies is ESG data management relevant for?
Which form of ESG data management is relevant depends on your organisation and your goals. Carbon accounting suits companies that want to measure and lower their emissions. An energy scan is particularly relevant for organisations with substantial energy consumption or plans for electrification. A life cycle assessment helps companies that design, produce or purchase physical products to assess their product impact.
We tailor every measurement to your sector, your operations and your goals.
When is the best time to start managing ESG data?
Preferably before you need the data for a report, a customer question or an investment. A good baseline measurement takes time and forms the basis for being able to measure changes later on.
By starting early you can also find savings sooner and put future investments on a firmer footing.
Which challenges do companies come across with carbon accounting and how do you solve them?
A common challenge is gathering reliable scope 3 data from the value chain. Not all suppliers have the same information available and sometimes you have to work with estimates or different calculation methods.
We help you structure data sources, choose a consistent calculation method and record where assumptions are used. That way you can keep improving the quality of your emissions data.
Which opportunities do companies usually discover with the energy scan?
The energy scan can make unnecessary consumption, energy losses and peak loads visible. We also look at how your actual energy use compares with your contracted capacity.
That is relevant, for example, if you want to electrify or install charging infrastructure. The scan shows how much room your current connection offers and where savings are possible.
How does a life cycle assessment help you stay innovative and compliant?
An LCA shows where in a product’s life cycle the greatest environmental impact arises. That allows you to work in a targeted way on, for example, material use, service life, recyclability and production processes.
The product data gathered can also be relevant for new European information requirements, such as the Digital Product Passport under the ESPR. Exactly which data is needed for that differs per product group.
What makes our solutions and our Sustainability as a Service model unique?
With Sustainability as a Service you get ongoing access to specialists in the fields of carbon accounting, energy and life cycle analysis. We help you keep your data up to date and translate new outcomes into concrete actions.
That way ESG data management does not remain a one-off measurement: instead you can track developments and keep improving in a targeted way every year.
