Carbon Footprint and ESG Reporting for Office & Service Businesses

Even with a smaller direct footprint than manufacturing, ESG reporting requests have become a standard part of client tenders and investor conversations for consulting, software, finance and other service firms.

Challenges This Sector Faces

Employee Commuting (Scope 3)

The largest emission item of a service company is usually not office electricity but employees' commuting.

Office Electricity & Heating

Smaller though it is, lighting, climate control and heating consumption is a Scope 1 & 2 item that must be measured and reported.

Social & Governance Expectations

Investors and large clients now ask not only about carbon but also about labour rights and corporate governance practices.

Not Knowing Where to Start

For a service company asked to produce its first ESG report, it is often unclear which data to collect.
