Reporting Service Overview
Greenhouse Gas Accounting
Scope 1, 2 and 3 - The GHG Protocol
Greenhouse Gas Accounting is the standardized method for measuring a company’s climate impact across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Using the GHG Protocol, the globally recognized framework, organisations gain a clear and comparable overview of their carbon footprint and climate risks.
Accurate emissions data is the foundation for credible sustainability strategies, CSRD reporting, SBTi target-setting, climate risk assessments, and low-carbon transition plans. Without robust GHG accounting, companies risk misreporting, misallocating resources, and losing stakeholder trust.
Â
How YouSustain can help
We support companies by providing:
-
Audit-ready GHG inventories built on transparent, defensible methodologies aligned with the GHG Protocol.
-
Scope 1, 2 & 3 assessments, including first-time footprints, expansions, and redesigns.
-
Data collection and documentation processes that ensure traceability and consistency.
-
Support across multiple reporting systems, including onboarding and configuration in leading sustainability software platforms.
-

Financed Emissions - PCAF
PCAF (Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials) is the leading global framework for measuring and reporting financed emissions- the emissions associated with loans, investments, and other financial products. Built on the GHG Protocol and widely adopted across the financial sector, PCAF provides standardized methodologies and attribution rules that allow institutions to quantify their climate impact with credibility and comparability.
For banks, asset managers, development institutions, and insurance companies, financed emissions typically represent over 90% of their climate footprint. High-quality PCAF reporting is essential for CSRD compliance, SBTi for Financial Institutions, transition plans, risk management, and engagement with regulators, investors, and clients. Without consistent PCAF methodologies, climate disclosures become fragmented and difficult to defend.
How YouSustain can help
We support financial institutions by providing:
-
Implementation of PCAF methodologies across asset classes, aligned with the latest framework developments.
-
Financed emissions calculations including data quality scoring, attribution factors, and weighted metrics.
-

-
Alignment with CSRD and SBTi-FI, ensuring financed emissions fit seamlessly into your broader reporting and target-setting processes.
-
Data improvement strategies to enhance accuracy, increase data quality scores, and reduce estimation uncertainty.
-
Internal training and capability-building, giving your team the knowledge to maintain and expand PCAF reporting independently.
Impact, Risk, and Opportunity Assessments
Double Materiality Assessment
A Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) identifies which sustainability topics are significant to your organisation- both in terms of impact materiality (your impacts on people and the environment) and financial materiality (how sustainability topics affect your business performance). While required under the CSRD, the approach is increasingly adopted globally as a best-practice foundation for sustainability strategy, reporting, and risk management.
Double Materiality provides a structured way to understand what truly matters to your company and stakeholders. It helps organisations focus resources on the issues with the greatest real-world impact and the strongest financial relevance, ensuring disclosures, strategies, and actions are meaningful and defensible. Across markets—from Europe to Asia-Pacific, North America, and beyond—regulators, investors, and rating agencies increasingly expect companies to justify their priorities through a robust materiality process.
How YouSustain can help
We support companies by delivering Double Materiality Assessments that are:
-
Conducted in line with leading global frameworks, including CSRD/ESRS, ISSB/IFRS, GRI, and other jurisdictional standards.
-

Climate Risk Assessment - TCFD
A Climate Risk Assessment evaluates how climate change may affect your organisation through both physical risks (e.g., extreme weather, sea level rise, heat stress) and transition risks (e.g., regulation, market shifts, technology changes). Based on the TCFD framework—now mirrored in ISSB/IFRS S2 and adopted across multiple jurisdictions—the assessment helps companies understand and manage climate-related risks and opportunities in a structured, decision-ready way.
Climate risk expectations are rapidly becoming standard practice worldwide. Investors, regulators, and customers increasingly require companies to disclose how climate scenarios may impact operations, financials, supply chains, and long-term strategy. TCFD-aligned assessments support regulatory compliance (global), enhance resilience, inform transition planning, and strengthen credibility with stakeholders. For many organisations, climate risk is no longer optional—it’s a core element of strategic risk management.
How YouSustain can help
We support companies by delivering climate risk assessments that are:
-
Fully aligned with TCFD and ISSB/IFRS S2, meeting global investor and regulatory expectations.
-
Built on climate scenarios, from short-term regulatory impacts to long-term physical climate projections.
-
Focused on both physical and transition risks, mapping exposure across operations, markets, products, and the full value chain.
-
Supported by clear qualitative and quantitative analysis, including vulnerability assessments and financial implications where relevant.

Nature Risk Assessment - TNFD
The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) provides a framework for identifying, assessing, and disclosing nature-related risks, dependencies, impacts, and opportunities. Building on the same structure as TCFD (see above) but focused on nature, biodiversity, and ecosystem services, TNFD helps organisations understand how they both affect and rely on nature across their value chain.
Nature loss is rapidly becoming a material business risk, and regulators, investors, and customers are raising expectations for transparency. TNFD offers a standardized approach to evaluate exposure to nature-related risks such as resource scarcity, supply chain disruption, ecosystem degradation, and regulatory tightening. For companies operating in agriculture, food systems, extractives, manufacturing, real estate, and finance, TNFD-aligned assessments are increasingly essential for managing long-term resilience and meeting evolving global disclosure requirements.
How YouSustain can help
We support companies by delivering TNFD-aligned assessments that are:
-

Scenario Analysis - Climate & Nature
Scenario analysis is a structured way to explore how different future pathways—related to climate change or nature and biodiversity—may impact your organisation.
For climate, this typically involves modelling a range of physical and transition scenarios aligned with TCFD or ISSB/IFRS S2.
For nature, scenario analysis follows TNFD’s approach, assessing how changes in ecosystems, biodiversity loss, regulations, and resource availability could shape business risks and opportunities.
Scenario analysis is increasingly expected by regulators, investors, and rating agencies across geographies. It helps organisations understand how environmental change could impact operations, supply chains, financials, and long-term strategy.
Whether related to rising temperatures, ecosystem degradation, supply chain instability, shifting market expectations, or new nature-related regulations—scenario analysis equips companies to make resilient, forward-looking decisions and develop robust transition plans.
How YouSustain can help
We support companies by delivering scenario analyses that are:
-
Aligned with global best practices, including TCFD, ISSB/IFRS S2 for climate, and TNFD for nature.
-
Focused on both physical and transition risks, mapping exposure across operations, assets, supply chains, markets, and value chains.
-
Built using credible scenarios, such as IPCC climate pathways, NGFS climate financial scenarios, and biodiversity/nature scenarios aligned with TNFD.

EU Best Practice ESG Report - VSME
Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs (VSME) is the voluntary sustainability reporting framework developed to help small and medium-sized enterprises disclose key sustainability information in a simpler, more accessible way than full CSRD/ESRS reporting. Based on the same principles as the ESRS but tailored for SME realities, VSME provides a structured, proportionate approach to reporting on impacts, risks, opportunities, and key performance indicators.
SMEs are increasingly asked by customers, investors, lenders, and supply-chain partners to provide reliable sustainability data—even if they are not in scope of CSRD. VSME gives smaller organisations a credible, recognised framework to meet these expectations without the complexity of full ESRS reporting. It helps companies stay competitive in procurement processes, prepare for future regulation, strengthen stakeholder trust, and build a strong sustainability foundation as they grow.
How YouSustain can help
We support SMEs by delivering VSME-aligned reporting processes that are:
-
Fully aligned with the official VSME Standards, ensuring disclosures follow recognised best practice.
-
Designed to be lean and practical, focusing on what is relevant and proportionate for your business size and sector.

-
Flexible across tools and systems, whether you want to use simple templates or integrate sustainability data into existing reporting platforms.
-
Easily mapped to ESRS and other frameworks, ensuring your SME reporting can scale as your organisation grows or regulatory expectations increase.
-
Connected to materiality and risk assessments, ensuring your reporting is focused on what truly matters.
-
Delivered with internal capability-building, so your team can confidently manage and update your VSME disclosure year after year.
Target Setting
Science Based Targets - SBTi
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) provides a globally recognised methodology for setting greenhouse gas reduction targets in line with the latest climate science. Organisations use SBTi to define near-term and long-term pathways that align with limiting global warming to 1.5°C, covering Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. For financial institutions, the SBTi-FI framework guides target setting across lending and investment portfolios.
SBTi is rapidly becoming the standard expectation for credible climate action. Investors, customers, regulators, and rating agencies increasingly look for science-aligned targets when assessing climate performance and transition readiness. SBTi targets help companies strengthen climate governance, inform net-zero strategies, support CSRD and TCFD disclosures, and enhance competitiveness in procurement and financial markets. Without science-based targets, climate commitments risk being viewed as unsubstantiated or insufficient.
How YouSustain can help
We support organisations on their full SBTi journey by providing:
-
SBTi-aligned target setting, including Scope 1, 2 & 3 pathways, FLAG targets, and near- and long-term ambition levels.

Forest, Land & Agriculture Targets - FLAG
FLAG targets are a specialised component of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) designed for companies with significant emissions or impacts from forestry, land use, and agriculture. The FLAG framework provides tailored methodologies for setting 1.5°C-aligned reduction targets in sectors where land-use change, deforestation, and agricultural practices play a major role in emissions.
For many companies—especially in food systems, aquaculture, retail, agriculture, forestry, consumer goods, textiles, and finance—land-related emissions are a major part of their climate footprint.
SBTi now requires FLAG targets for organisations with material land-sector emissions.
FLAG commitments strengthen climate credibility, support CSRD and GHG Protocol Land Sector guidance alignment, reduce nature-related transition risks, and demonstrate action on deforestation-free supply chains. Investors, customers, and regulators increasingly expect clear, science-based land-use strategies.
How YouSustain can help
We support organisations with FLAG-related work by providing:
-
Full FLAG assessments, including emissions baselines, categorisation, and alignment with SBTi’s FLAG criteria.

ESG Ratings
The Carbon Disclosure Project - CDP
Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is one of the world’s most influential disclosure platforms for climate, water, and forests. Companies, cities, and financial institutions use CDP to report their environmental performance through a detailed, annually updated questionnaire. CDP scores are widely used by investors, customers, and rating agencies to assess environmental governance, risk management, strategy, and data quality.
Strong CDP reporting enhances transparency, improves investor confidence, and strengthens a company’s position in supply chain evaluations. For many organisations, CDP scores directly influence procurement outcomes, financing opportunities, and stakeholder trust. CDP disclosures also support compliance with other frameworks—such as CSRD, TCFD, ISSB/IFRS, and SBTi—helping companies align their environmental reporting with global expectations.
How YouSustain can help
We support organisations by delivering high-quality CDP submissions:
-
Full CDP submission support, where we prepare and write the complete response across Climate, Water, and/or Forests.

EU Reporting Requirements
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive - CSRD
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is the EU’s new sustainability reporting framework, requiring companies to disclose detailed, audit-ready information on environmental, social, and governance topics. Reporting is carried out using the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), which cover governance, strategy, materiality, climate, workforce, biodiversity, value chain impacts, and more.
Even for companies outside the EU, CSRD often applies indirectly through supply-chain expectations, financing requirements, or group-level consolidation.
CSRD represents one of the most significant shifts in corporate reporting in decades. It transforms sustainability from voluntary communication into a regulated, assurance-based disclosure system. High-quality CSRD reporting helps companies comply with legal requirements, strengthen investor confidence, improve ESG ratings, identify risks and opportunities, and build internal systems that support long-term resilience and competitiveness. Poorly executed CSRD reporting, on the other hand, can expose organisations to compliance risk, reputational issues, and audit findings.
Â
How YouSustain can help
We support companies throughout the full CSRD journey by offering:

The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive - CSDDD
The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) is a regulatory framework that requires companies to identify, prevent, mitigate, and address human rights and environmental impacts across their operations and value chain.
It builds on international standards such as the UNGPs and OECD Guidelines, turning long-standing voluntary expectations into enforceable due-diligence obligations.
While introduced in the EU, CSDDD is relevant globally—affecting multinational companies, suppliers, and financial institutions connected to the European market.
CSDDD raises the bar for responsible business conduct. Companies will need to demonstrate strong governance, transparent processes, and clear action plans to manage social, environmental, and value-chain risks. This includes topics such as labour conditions, biodiversity impacts, pollution, deforestation, and community rights.
Robust due diligence is not only a compliance requirement—it also strengthens supply-chain resilience, reduces litigation and reputational risk, and signals credibility to customers, investors, and regulators.
Â
How YouSustain can help
We support companies at every stage of CSDDD preparedness by offering:
-

The EU Taxonomy
The EU Taxonomy is a classification system that defines which economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable. It sets technical screening criteria across six environmental objectives, ranging from climate mitigation to circular economy and biodiversity, along with Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) requirements and minimum safeguards.
Companies in scope of CSRD, NFRD, or EU financial regulations must report their Taxonomy eligibility and alignment, and many organisations outside the EU are indirectly affected through financing and supply-chain expectations.
The EU Taxonomy is shaping capital flows across Europe and beyond. Clear alignment enhances investor confidence, improves access to sustainable finance, and demonstrates climate and environmental credibility. For companies, it strengthens strategic decision-making by linking sustainability performance directly to financial metrics such as CapEx, OpEx, and turnover.
Accurate Taxonomy reporting also reduces compliance risk, supports CSRD/ESRS disclosures, and helps organisations understand where to prioritise low-carbon and environmentally positive investments.
Â

Norwegian Reporting Requirements & Certifications
The Norwegian Transparency Act
The Norwegian Transparency Act is a mandatory human rights due-diligence law that requires companies to identify, assess, and address risks related to human rights and decent working conditions across their own operations and supply chain.
It builds on international standards such as the UN Guiding Principles (UNGPs) and OECD Due Diligence Guidelines, and applies to a wide range of medium-to-large companies operating in Norway.
The law also requires companies to publish an annual due-diligence statement and to respond to information requests from the public.
Compliance with the Transparency Act is essential for managing legal, reputational, and operational risk. Customers, business partners, and investors increasingly expect companies to demonstrate responsible value-chain practices and to have clear processes for identifying and handling human rights risks.
A robust approach not only ensures legal compliance but also strengthens trust, supports ESG ratings, aligns with global expectations, and prepares organisations for emerging international due-diligence regulations such as CSDDD.
