# Carbon Accounting & ESG Reporting

Carbon Accounting & ESG Reporting automates sustainability reporting from verified energy data.

It helps organizations move from manual, fragmented reporting processes to audit-ready disclosures built on traceable and reliable data.

This module provides templates in [-> Live Cockpit](/collection/platform/live-cockpit.md), access to [-> Insight Analytics](/collection/platform/insight-analytics.md), and report templates in [-> Reports](/collection/platform/analytics-and-reports.md).

## What It Enables

With Carbon Accounting & ESG Reporting, teams can:

* calculate carbon impact from verified energy data
* apply emission factors consistently
* aggregate results by site, tenant, or scope
* generate dashboards and reports for ESG and sustainability stakeholders
* support audit-ready reporting with transparent traceability

## Typical Value

This module creates a shared reporting foundation for finance, operations, and ESG teams. It helps ensure that sustainability disclosures are based on the same trusted data used in day-to-day performance management.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/suites/energy-and-sustainability-intelligence/carbon-accounting-and-esg-reporting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
