ESG reporting and sustainability reports, from $2,500

What our ESG reporting service includes

ESG reporting means publishing reliable information about your environmental, social and governance performance: what your impacts and risks are, how you manage them and what results you achieve. Customers ask for it in supplier questionnaires, banks use it in lending decisions, investors use it to compare companies, and in some markets the law now requires it.

Our approach is simple: we evaluate your environmental, social and governance performance to create transparent, data-driven sustainability reports. In practice that means a structured project. We agree which framework the report follows, identify the topics that matter for your business, collect and check the data, and write the report with you.

The data is the hardest part for most companies. Energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, water, waste, workforce figures, health and safety, training, diversity, supply chain practices and governance arrangements usually sit in different departments and systems. We help you gather them into one consistent set, with the calculation methods recorded.

• Framework selection: GRI Standards, ISSB standards, or your customer's or regulator's requirements
• Materiality assessment to decide which topics the report covers
• Greenhouse gas inventory for scope 1 and scope 2, and scope 3 where needed
• Data collection templates, checks and a record of methods
• Drafting of the report and an index to the chosen framework
• Recommendations for targets and data improvements for the next report

Which framework fits: the options in plain terms

The GRI Standards are the most widely used voluntary framework. They focus on your impacts on the economy, the environment and people, and suit companies reporting to a broad audience of customers, employees and communities.

The ISSB standards, IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, focus on sustainability and climate-related risks and opportunities that affect the company's financial prospects. They suit companies that report to investors and lenders, and several countries are adopting them into national rules.

In the European Union, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards require in-scope companies to report on a double materiality basis, covering both impact and financial materiality. The EU has been revising the scope and timing of these rules, so we check the current position for your company before planning. In the USA, California has introduced climate disclosure laws for larger companies doing business in the state.

Many medium-sized companies are not yet required to report but are asked by customers. For them a focused GRI-based report, or a short report built around customer questionnaires such as EcoVadis, is often the right start.

What decides the price

ESG reporting with EUROTECH starts at $2,500. The price depends on how much data has to be gathered and which framework applies.

• Framework: a focused GRI report, ISSB climate disclosures or a regulated report
• Number of sites and countries to include
• Greenhouse gas scope: scope 1 and 2 only, or scope 3 categories as well
• State of your data: existing systems or collection from scratch
• First report or update of an existing report

We confirm the scope, the deliverables and every fee in a written quote. A second year is usually quicker, because templates and methods are already in place.

Scope 3 emissions usually take the most effort, because they depend on data from suppliers and customers. We help you decide which categories matter for your business and start with reasonable estimates where supplier data is not yet available.
