Understanding GhG Compliance and your role in the future of ESG reporting!

The consequences of a further rise in global temperatures, to more than 1.5°C, are well documented and potentially devastating to our planet. It is expected that lethal heat waves, severe droughts, irreparable destruction of ecosystems will cause drastic global gross domestic product (GDP) loss. These losses will be reflected across all sectors of business, and society. As world leaders and governments continue to seek ways to address the problem, the ability to keep up with the outpouring of regulations and requirements is becoming increasingly difficult.

What does this mean for your business?

Beyond the concern we all may have as individuals for the environment, this ominous forecast will soon begin to impact your bottom line. In the future almost all business small or large will need to be able to have some basic understanding of their GhG Scope 1 and Scope 2 Impacts.

When is this all beginning?

In March of 2022, The US Securities and Exchange Commission introduced the “issuer rule”. As part of this rule, companies will have to disclose emissions they are directly responsible for as well as emissions from their supply chains and products. These guidelines are expected to be completed and, in some form, adopted by the end of 2022. Although, legal challenges have already begun to arise, most companies are anticipating these changes and are seeking ways to meet the future standards.

Why you may ask?

There are several factors today driving the need for accurate GhG reporting by companies. Weather it is a socially conscious company leadership, or board seeking to adopt a carbon neutral goal, or a targeted, loyal customer base demanding their businesses be environmentally friendly. Current research shows that although these factors can be powerful motivators they trend more to being “contributing factors” then key drivers towards a company’s GhG decision making. The most overarching driver to date for corporate GhG reporting, is compliance. Currently only 71 percent of the S&P 500 disclose GHG emissions in their annual reports, sustainability reports, or company websites.

We are not in Europe and my company is not public, why should I be concerned?

This is true, currently you may not have federal requirements to report your GhG, but if your company does business with any company that is public and is required, your ability to maintain your current contracts will more than likely depend on your ability to supply these companies your Scope 1 and Scope 2 GhG impacts. Additionally, if your company currently or in the future plans to perform work for any governmental entities, GhG reporting requirements are becoming more and more commonplace in the bidding and acceptance process. As the federal government begins to set more and more standards around GhG, we can anticipate that these standards will inevitably become adopted at the State and Local levels as well.

The Good News

While the climate crisis threatens dire consequences, it also offers big opportunities for organizations that address it head-on. Opportunities are everywhere: around the globe, in every sector of the economy. Over the next ten years climate-driven innovations is expected to have a $3–5 trillion impact on global markets. According to a Harvard Business School study, companies with strong sustainability strategies consistently outperform their peers.
