SoS #5: ESG vs. Carbon-specific Platforms, Navigating Data Gaps & Sustainability Function Set up

Live Q&A with Saif Hameed.

Questions covered:

1.Our Head of Sustainability doesn’t report directly to the CEO. Do you think this is a problem?

2.I am currently looking for an impact software solution and am in conversations with a variety of solution types. How would you compare ESG-wide platforms to carbon-specific platforms?

3. We have multiple teams set up in our company to cover different sustainability topics (scope 1 & 2, supply chain, product LCAs). What’s the best way to help these teams work well together.

4. We have just done our first manual carbon baseline however I’m aware that we had many data gaps and used v generalised assumptions and as such a bit apprehensive to make big investments on potentially incorrect hotspots. Do you have a rule of thumb on data maturity and when to act?
