- Do you know which ESG topics matter most to your business and stakeholders?
- Do you know which reporting requirements or customer requests apply to you?
Environmental
- Do you measure your energy use and emissions?
- Do you have environmental targets?
- How are waste and resource use managed?
Social
- Do you track people measures such as turnover, pay by role and training?
- How are health, safety and wellbeing handled?
- Do you check suppliers' labour and environmental practices?
Data and reporting
- How is ESG data collected?
- Could you show the evidence behind an ESG figure if asked?
- Do you publish or share ESG information?
Results bands: Early (0+), Developing (40+), Established (70+), Leading (90+). A self-assessment from your own answers: a starting point for a conversation, not an audit, certification or professional advice.

- It doesn't calculate emissions or follow a specific reporting framework.
Questions
About the ESG Readiness Assessment
Does it tell us which ESG rules apply to us?
No. One question asks whether you've checked; the answer depends on where you operate and your size and sector, so ask a qualified adviser.
Is this an audit or a certification?
No. It scores your own answers against a written rubric to show where you stand and what to do next. Use it to start a conversation, not as an audit, certification or professional advice.
