In sintesi

ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) reporting is now mandatory or expected by regulators, investors, and stakeholders in 50+ countries. Standards include GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board), TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures), and EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. Companies need ESG managers to collect data, calculate metrics, and audit claims. Learning takes 6-8 weeks; mastery (designing ESG strategies, third-party audit, emissions calculation) takes 6 months. Specialists earn €80-140K+ because ESG is now business-critical and regulatory non-compliance = fines + brand damage.

Cos'è ESG Reporting Standards

ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) reporting is the practice of measuring and disclosing a company's impact across three dimensions: Environmental (carbon, water, waste), Social (labor practices, diversity, community), and Governance (board composition, ethics, compliance). There is no single ESG standard. Instead, multiple standards coexist: GRI (comprehensive), SASB (material issues by industry), TCFD (climate financial risk), EU CSRD (regulatory), and industry-specific frameworks. Companies typically report against multiple standards to satisfy different stakeholders.

❓ Domande frequenti

What's the difference between GRI, SASB, and TCFD?
GRI = comprehensive (covers all ESG topics). SASB = material (covers only material issues for your industry). TCFD = climate-focused (how climate risk affects finances). Use all three together; they're complementary, not competing.
How do I calculate Scope 1, 2, 3 emissions?
Scope 1 = direct (company vehicles, factories). Scope 2 = indirect from electricity (power purchased). Scope 3 = supply chain (vendors' emissions). Scope 3 is 80% of footprint but hardest to measure. Use GHG Protocol for methodology.
How often do I report ESG?
Annual, typically. Some companies report quarterly for certain metrics. Annual is standard: collect data for calendar year, report in spring. Some companies also do mid-year updates on key metrics.
What's the difference between ESG and CSR?
CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) = voluntary good deeds (donations, volunteering). ESG = measurable metrics (carbon, diversity, board independence). ESG is more rigorous, verifiable, material to business.
How do I handle supply chain emissions if I don't have direct access to vendor data?
Request data from vendors. If unavailable, use industry averages (EPA, DEFRA). Make assumptions clear in reporting. Some companies use supplier engagement programs to improve data collection over time.
