Step 1: Understand the Requirements
Be aware of your sustainability strategy and familiarize yourself with ESG standards. ESG reporting is governed by the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
Step 2: Collect Data
Collect all relevant data from digital meters, manual readings and other systems in your building. This includes water and energy data, greenhouse gas emissions, CO₂ equivalents, and waste volumes.
Tip: WAGO Building Cloud Services for Environmental Reporting and Energy Management make this process especially simple and efficient.
Step 3: Consolidate Data
Ensure your data is well-structured and traceable. Implementing a data management system or environmental data software can help consolidate, store, and analyze data — even across multiple properties.
Tip: WAGO Building Cloud Services combine essential management and reporting functions, supporting compliance with energy management and ESG reporting regulations.
Step 4: Analyze Data
Step 5: Optimize Building Operations
Use custom KPIs — such as heating or energy consumption — to identify improvement opportunities, reduce error rates in building operations, and significantly increase overall efficiency.
Tip: The WAGO I/O System allows you to replace outdated control devices and configure them for fully efficient building operation.
Step 6: Create the Report
After collecting and analyzing your environmental data throughout the year and implementing improvements, it’s time to compile your ESG report. If you use a management system, you can usually generate a clear overview with just a few clicks. Submit this to your company’s ESG officer, who will combine it with social and governance data into a complete report.
Tip: The WAGO Building Cloud Service for Environmental Reporting provides a comprehensive report of your current environmental data — available for download at any time.
