To help companies prepare for incoming mandatory greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions reporting, RSM is offering a 4-week GHG Rapid Assessment, leveraging the Microsoft Sustainability Manager to enable companies to assess, track, calculate, visualize, and report on their Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

This assessment will review the current state of your company’s GHG inventory and enable the use of the robust out-of-the-box functionality of the Microsoft Sustainability Manager with the option to expand functionality based on business needs. A typical engagement would comprise the following and would be tailored by company:

Review company reporting goals, focusing on operations and activities that need to be reported
Review Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions inventory (as applicable) including: current state control approach, emissions boundaries, emissions factors, data collection processes, and overall completeness, leveraging trusted and reputable GHG factor libraries, such as the US EPA emissions factor library, and the GHG Protocol methodology
Develop recommendations for improvements to GHG data collection and identify risks and opportunities for complete and accurate data tracking
Assess GHG software requirements and confirm the following Microsoft Sustainability Manager out-of-the-box capabilities are a match to develop a high-level timeline for any additional functionality needs:

Reports (excel-based emissions reports)
Models
Calculation Profiles
Power BI Dashboards

Conduct industry benchmarking against comparator and peer activities
Gather business requirements to improve the GHG technology landscape utilizing the Microsoft Sustainability Manager

Phase 3: Recommendations & Strategy Development [~1 – 2 Weeks]: The final phase of the GHG Rapid Assessment focuses on the development of a GHG strategy to guide inventory improvement, reporting, and technology adoption, through the following:

Develop recommendations to improve Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions collection over the short, medium, and long term
Build a prioritized roadmap of initiatives representative of the recommendations
Develop a technology timeline that will help guide the implementation of the Microsoft Sustainability Manager solution, including governance considerations, as well as future functionality needs
