Frequently Asked Questions About Carbon Accounting with ESG Steward

How does the platform capture Scope 1-3 emissions linked to real-estate and vehicle leases?

ESG Steward integrates directly with lease data to automatically calculate emissions from building operations (Scope 1), purchased utilities (Scope 2), and broader value-chain impacts such as supply chain and business travel (Scope 3).

By connecting real-estate and fleet information with emissions factors, the platform ensures complete and accurate coverage across all three scopes.

Can we align reporting with GHG Protocol, CDP, and SBTi requirements in one place?

Yes. ESG Steward is designed to support compliance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, CDP disclosures, and Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) frameworks. The platform centralizes reporting so organizations can meet multiple standards simultaneously without duplicating effort.

What audit trail supports limited-assurance engagements on emissions data?

ESG Steward provides transparent calculations, version control, and a complete audit trail of all emissions data. These features support limited-assurance engagements by ensuring external reviewers can trace every data point back to its source with confidence.

How will the tool help forecast emission reductions when renewing or relocating leases?

ESG Steward offers scenario-based modeling that allows organizations to compare the emissions impact of different lease renewal or relocation options. By projecting potential reductions tied to energy efficiency, location, or building certifications, the platform helps decision-makers plan sustainable leasing strategies.
