Function · Sustainability & ESG

You own the report.
You do not own the data.

For CSOs, Heads of ESG, Sustainability Directors, and Carbon Managers facing IFRS S1/S2 through the Thai SEC, CSRD through an EU parent, Japanese parent reporting, and an investor base scrutinising every claim. WizEmp builds the cross-functional architecture that makes ESG reporting defensible at the source.

We Speak Your Language

You are the most cross-functional persona in the organisation. You control nothing.

Sustainability and ESG face a unique data challenge. You own the reporting obligation. You do not own the data sources. Energy data lives in Facilities. Emissions calculations live in Engineering. Waste data lives in Maintenance. Workforce diversity lives in HR. Supplier sustainability lives in Procurement. Financial intensity ratios live in Finance. None of these systems were designed to serve ESG reporting.

ESG data quality is typically abysmal. Scope 1 requires emissions factors applied to fuel consumption that is often estimated, not measured. Scope 2 depends on grid emission factors that vary by country, year, and source. Scope 3 is a methodological battleground. The CSO knows the numbers are approximate. The investor and the regulator increasingly will not accept that.

WizEmp's discipline starts from traceability. Every number in the ESG report traces back to source data, with the methodology documented and the assumptions named. When the assurance provider asks where the number came from, the report answers. The architecture is the cross-functional platform you have needed all along.

Vocabulary that matches your role

Climate & Carbon

Scope 1 / 2 / 3 emissions, carbon intensity, GHG Protocol, SBTi, net zero, carbon offset/credit, financed emissions (PCAF)

Disclosure & Standards

GRI, TCFD, CDP, SASB, ISSB (IFRS S1/S2), CSRD, One Report (56-1), SET ESG Ratings, double materiality

Operational ESG

Renewable energy %, water withdrawal & discharge, waste diversion rate, life cycle assessment (LCA), product carbon footprint (PEF)

Supply Chain & Social

Supplier ESG assessment coverage, responsible sourcing, deforestation-free, DEI metrics, social impact KPIs

How Wit Interviews You

Wit interviews the function that depends on every other function.

The Sustainability Director is the most natural champion for a WizEmp engagement: you need data from everyone, you control nothing, and the regulator is moving faster than your supplier conversations. Wit makes the cross-functional dependency operational instead of reputational.

Wit interviews Sustainability with respect for the complexity. The probes are designed around the data quality nightmare and the cross-functional politics. Walk me through how you collect the data for your annual sustainability report, from the moment you need a number to the moment it appears. Not the official process. What actually happens. The answer typically involves emails, spreadsheets, three follow-up reminders, and a final calculation made under deadline pressure.

The greenwashing risk gets explicit treatment. If an auditor challenged your headline carbon number today, could you trace it back to source data. Which function gives you the most difficulty when you ask for data, and why. Which upcoming regulation worries you most, and how prepared are you. The answers shape the architecture priorities.

The output is the Sustainability section of the Shield of Truth: the cross-functional data dependencies mapped, the methodology decisions documented, the regulatory horizon over 24 months named, and the supplier engagement plan the platform must support. The architecture that follows is the foundation other functions will adopt once they see the cross-functional view working.

What Your Reports Look Like

The ESG Cockpit: every number traces. Every methodology documents itself.

Built for two readers: the CSO who signs the disclosure and the auditor who checks it. When emissions per tonne fall, the report splits the fall between the plant using less energy, a change in product mix, and changes made on paper, such as an updated grid factor or certificates bought. Location-based and market-based Scope 2 sit side by side.

WizEmp has built this as a demonstration report for one chemical site, on synthetic plant data. It covers Scope 1 and 2. Scope 3 is built from your own purchase and sales data in an engagement.

Power BI Cockpit · Sustainability & ESG Configuration

Your ESG Cockpit. Defensible at the source. Continuous, not annual.

Did the Plant Do It?

Emissions per tonne, period on period Energy use split from mix and volume Factor update and certificates shown apart

Scope 2, Both Methods

Location-based and market-based together Certificates by the months they cover Residual-mix gap disclosed

Factor Register & Restatement

Emission factor used for each year Base-year recalculation on a factor change Restated series beside the reported one

Shared Utilities

One stated allocation rule on the answer page Alternative rules compared separately No ranking of lines on intensity

Built in Your Engagement

Scope 3 categories from purchase and sales data Energy, water and waste from your meters Target trajectory once the group sets one

Where the Numbers Stop

Disclosure stays with your team and assurer No carbon price and no assurance claim Unmetered Scope 1 sources listed by name

"ESG reporting that cannot be traced back to source data is not reporting. It is opinion with a chart attached. WizEmp builds the architecture that makes the opinion defensible."

Industries We Serve for Sustainability & ESG

Same function. Different ESG materiality by sector.

In Petrochemical, Scope 1 dominates: process emissions, flaring, carbon capture. In Manufacturing and Automotive, Scope 3 dominates: supplier chain and product lifecycle. In Food and Agribusiness, deforestation, water stewardship, and farm-to-fork carbon. In Financial Services, financed emissions and climate risk. The function vocabulary stays. The materiality map adapts.

Cluster D · Extract & Transform

Petrochemical

Scope 1 dominance, process emissions, flaring, CCS, circular chemistry, product carbon footprint per ton.

See Petrochemical Sustainability & ESG → Cluster A · Make & Move

Automotive

Scope 3 supplier chain, EV lifecycle analysis, renewable PPA, OEM scorecards, ISO 14001 / 50001.

See Automotive Sustainability & ESG → Cluster A · Make & Move

Food & Agribusiness

Deforestation-free chains, water stewardship, sustainable agriculture (RSPO, MSC), food waste, farm-to-fork carbon.

See Food & Agribusiness Sustainability & ESG → Cluster B · Regulate & Comply

Financial Services

Financed emissions (PCAF) and sustainability-linked loan KPIs, built from your loan and portfolio data in an engagement.

Start Here

Bring the disclosure deadline you are dreading. Bring the Scope 2 number that moved when the grid factor changed.

The first conversation takes 30 minutes. Bring the IFRS S2 climate disclosure on its way, the parent company carbon mandate, or the supplier data you cannot get without three rounds of follow-up. Wit will map the cross-functional dependencies and the architecture that resolves them.
