CO₂ and greenhouse gas inventory for SMEs
An ESG report is only valuable if it can be understood, explained and, if required, evidenced.
ESG Simple supports companies and consultants in preparing structured greenhouse gas inventories. Energy consumption, vehicle fleets, materials or transport activities are recorded as activities and automatically assigned to Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions.
Calculations are transparent and reproducible. Emission factors used in the calculations are versioned and documented so that it always remains traceable how an emission value was derived. The factors are based on publicly documented sources such as the GHG Protocol and national and international emission factor catalogues.
What does this look like in practice?
Here you can view a sample report created with ESG Simple. The included texts are suggested based on the captured data. You review these suggestions and can adjust them if needed or accept them directly.

- Structured capture of Scope 1 to Scope 3 emissionsEnergy consumption, vehicle fleets, materials or transport activities are recorded as activities and clearly assigned to emission sources.
- Traceable calculations with versioned emission factorsFactor sources, calculation steps and results are documented and can be reviewed at any time.
- Attach evidence and documents directly to activitiesInvoices, energy bills, meter readings or contracts can be assigned to an activity and viewed in the system.
- Generate reports automatically from the dataGHG inventories, ESG reports or ESRS-E1 disclosures are generated from the same data basis and calculation logic.
Evidence such as invoices, energy bills, meter readings or contracts can be attached to each activity. This creates clear documentation from the individual activity through to the final report.
Reports are generated directly from the structured data. Approved versions remain fully reproducible – including the underlying data, the emission factors used and the calculation logic.
ESG Simple is designed in particular for:
- Sustainability, energy and ESG consultants
- Companies that want to document their CO₂ and greenhouse gas inventory in a structured and traceable way
The result is an auditable greenhouse gas inventory without Excel chaos and without the complexity of large enterprise solutions.
