Sustainability readiness assessment and roadmap
Project overview and objectives
When one global health company came to Clearsulting and Sodali & Co, they had the following goals:
- Align with regulatory emissions disclosure requirements (SEC’s climate-related disclosure rules, California’s climate disclosure regulations (CA SB 253), and the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
- Assess and enhance existing emissions-related processes and controls for upcoming compliance deadlines
- Address gaps in internal emissions data collection processes, Scope 3 calculations, and disclosure readiness
Clearsulting + Sodali & Co.’s joint approach
Together, we helped:
- Conduct a comprehensive review of public disclosures and internal documentation against emissions requirements
- Identify gaps in emissions-related disclosures, focusing on alignment with the latest version of the SEC’s climate-related disclosure rules, California SB 253, and the CSRD ESRS E1 Climate change regulations
- Conduct stakeholder interviews to gain insights into current processes, controls, owners and data management
- Evaluate current emissions calculation processes, emissions sources, figures, and controls in alignment with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol
- Develop recommendations to enhance emissions-related disclosures and prioritize areas of focus for Scope 3 emissions
Impact
After providing analysis on the organization’s alignment with emissions-related disclosure regulations and helping them understand their current readiness level, we:
- Created a clear roadmap for addressing gaps in emissions reporting and improving compliance
- Assisted in strengthening internal processes, controls, and emissions data accuracy
- Improved the organization’s ability to meet regulatory deadlines for climate-related disclosures and enhanced its public sustainability reporting
- Delivered an Excel-based workbook with detailed recommendations for emissions calculation improvements, including prioritizing Scope 3 emissions
