GHG Accounting — Scope 1
Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Supports stationary combustion, mobile combustion, fugitive emissions, and process emissions. GHG Protocol Corporate Standard methodology.
Every capability built into Emistra — available across our subscription plans. Feature access varies by tier; see pricing for details on what's included in each plan.
Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Supports stationary combustion, mobile combustion, fugitive emissions, and process emissions. GHG Protocol Corporate Standard methodology.
Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, steam, and cooling. Both market-based (energy attribute certificates) and location-based methods supported.
Full value-chain emissions across all 15 GHG Protocol categories: purchased goods & services, capital goods, upstream transport, waste, business travel, employee commuting, leased assets, downstream transport, processing, end-of-life, and investments. Supplier data is collected directly via a dedicated supplier portal, eliminating manual data chasing and improving category coverage year on year.
Built-in libraries from IPCC, IEA, DEFRA, EPA, EMBER, and other authoritative sources — but the real time-saver is that emission factors are matched automatically. When you log an activity, the platform resolves the correct factor for you based on activity type and country: EMBER live grid factors for electricity (country-specific, updated annually), DEFRA for combustion, transport, and refrigerants, USEEIO for purchased goods and services. No manual lookups, no spreadsheet factor tables — just enter the activity data and the calculation is done. Corporate admins can review and override defaults per emission category if needed.
Configure 1.5°C-aligned reduction targets with linear or sector-based pathways. Track progress quarterly with trajectory charts and on-track, at-risk, or off-track status for each target period. Target types: near-term 1.5°C, well-below 2°C, or long-term Net Zero — data feeds into ESRS E1 and CDP disclosures.
Log and categorise energy use by source (electricity, natural gas, renewables, etc.) across facilities and business units. Supports GRI 302 and ESRS E1 energy metrics.
Track water withdrawal, consumption, and discharge volumes by source (municipal, surface, groundwater). Water-stressed area risk assessment per GRI 303 / ESRS E3.
Classify waste by type (hazardous / non-hazardous) and disposal method (recycled, landfill, incinerated). Aligned with GRI 306 and ESRS E5 circular economy indicators.
Assess operations in or near ecologically sensitive areas. Document land-use change, restoration initiatives, and biodiversity impacts per ESRS E4 / GRI 304.
Record air, water, and soil pollutant emissions, substances of concern, and pollution incidents with a full root-cause and corrective-action log. Aligned with CSRD ESRS E2 disclosures (E2-1 through E2-6).
Document resource inflows (material composition, critical raw materials), transition plan for circular economy, policies, actions, and targets. Auto-calculates recycling and recovery rates. Full coverage of CSRD ESRS E5 (E5-1 through E5-5).
Manage your carbon credit portfolio across major registries — Verra VCS, Gold Standard, ACR, CDM, and Puro.earth. Classify credits as avoidance or removal, track verification and retirement status, and report per CSRD ESRS E1-7.
Register physical climate hazards (flooding, heat stress, drought, wildfire, sea-level rise) and transition risks (policy, technology, market, reputational) with likelihood, impact, and financial effect estimates. Run scenario analysis across 1.5°C, 2°C, and 3°C+ warming pathways for TCFD and CSRD ESRS E1-9 disclosures.
Build your CSRD ESRS E1-1 climate transition plan with structured key actions, resource allocation, governance accountability, and dated milestones. Track each action from Planned through In Progress to Completed — with AI-suggested decarbonisation actions based on your emission profile.
AI-generated reduction scenarios model the abatement potential of specific actions across your emission sources. A Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) ranks interventions by cost effectiveness so you can prioritise the highest-impact decarbonisation investments.
Headcount by gender, contract type, and region. Turnover rates, new hires, employee benefits coverage. Aligned with ESRS S1 / GRI 401–405.
Log work-related injuries, illness rates, lost time rates, and fatalities. Track OHS management system certifications and health programmes per GRI 403 / ESRS S1.
Supplier social risk screening, human rights due diligence assessments, and corrective action tracking. Aligned with ESRS S2 (workers in the value chain) and GRI 414.
Invite suppliers into a guided self-service portal where they submit emissions and ESG data across all 15 Scope 3 categories. Forms are pre-structured, validated on entry, and sync directly into your GHG inventory — no spreadsheets, no email threads, no manual reconciliation. Automated reminders chase outstanding submissions so your team stays focused on analysis, not admin. Supplier capacity is defined by your plan.
Every supplier in your network receives an automatic sustainability score derived from data completeness, emissions intensity, year-on-year improvement, and ESG disclosure quality. A live scoreboard ranks your entire supply base, giving procurement teams instant visibility and creating positive competitive pressure among suppliers to improve their standing. Score thresholds can be mapped to procurement policy — making sustainability performance a tangible selection criterion.
Suppliers can download their sustainability score as a compliance certificate showing their rating, submitted data categories, and improvement trajectory. Third-party auditors — whether the customer's assurance provider or an independent verifier — can access all underlying data via a secure, time-limited read-only link without needing an Emistra account. Suppliers use their certificate in tender submissions, customer RFPs, and sustainability marketing, turning compliance discipline into a direct commercial differentiator.
Document community engagement activities, social investment, grievance mechanisms, and impacts on local communities per ESRS S3 / GRI 413.
Track employee training hours, programmes, and development investments by category. Gender-disaggregated analysis per GRI 404 / ESRS S1.
Monitor diversity, equity & inclusion metrics, human rights due diligence assessments, pay equity analysis, and freedom of association indicators.
Structured impact and financial materiality workflow per ESRS 1. Score topics, document stakeholder input, define material topics, and generate a compliant materiality statement.
Document anti-corruption policies, training completion rates, confirmed incidents, and whistleblowing mechanism details per GRI 205 / ESRS G1.
Record board structure, sustainability governance roles, executive remuneration linkages to ESG KPIs, and board diversity metrics per ESRS 2 GOV standards.
Centralise sustainability policies, commitments, and management approaches. Attach documents, set review dates, and link policies to framework disclosures.
Assess economic activity eligibility and alignment under Regulation (EU) 2020/852. Calculate Turnover, CapEx, and OpEx KPIs against the six environmental objectives with Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) checks — required for CSRD sustainability statements and Non-Financial Reporting Directive Art. 8.
Invite statutory auditors or independent assurance providers under CSRD / ISAE 3000. Auditors receive a dedicated read-only portal to review emission data, submitted reports, supplier submissions, and evidence files — with a full audit log of every data entry and change.
Upload emission and ESG data in bulk via CSV or XLSX. The import wizard previews each row, runs validation before committing, and flags rows with errors so you can correct and re-upload — ideal for migrating historical data or importing meter reads at scale.
Suppliers attach supporting files — invoices, methodology notes, and source documents — within their submission wizard, linked to each emission category. Your team can access and download all uploaded evidence from the supplier management interface.
Automated disclosure gap analysis, data quality scoring, AI-generated commentary for reports, and improvement recommendations aligned to framework requirements.
Generate complete, framework-compliant PDF reports for ESRS, GRI, TCFD, ISSB, CDP, EU Taxonomy, SEC, BRSR, and others from one shared dataset. No re-entry required.
Export ESG data in JSON, CSV, and PDF. Connect to third-party systems via REST API. iXBRL / ESEF export available for CSRD digital tagging requirements (available on higher-tier plans).
