ESG regulatory research and compliance mapping
Stay on top of rapidly evolving ESG disclosure requirements across the SEC, EU CSRD, ISSB, and TCFD frameworks. Help clients build compliance roadmaps before mandates take effect.
SEC: Large accelerated filers must report Scope 1 & 2 emissions for FY2026 (in 2027 10-K). EU CSRD: companies with EU operations over €150M revenue must report under ESRS for FY2025. ISSB IFRS S1/S2: voluntary but increasingly required by lenders. Full deadline matrix and framework cross-walk attached.
Renewable energy feasibility analysis
Assess solar and other renewable energy opportunities for client facilities. Calculate production estimates, electricity cost savings, and payback periods to build the business case for capital investment.
Albuquerque 1MW solar estimate: 1,920 MWh/year production (1.92 capacity factor). At $0.089/kWh average rate: $170,880 annual savings. CO2 offset: 763 metric tons/year. Simple payback: 7.2 years at $1.23M install cost. 25-year NPV: $2.8M.
Corporate ESG disclosure benchmarking
Pull public company ESG and climate disclosures from SEC filings to benchmark a client against peers. Identify gaps in their current reporting and highlight best-practice disclosures.
Nike: Net-zero by 2050, 100% renewable electricity achieved, Scope 3 at 95% of total footprint — disclosed with CDP A rating. Adidas: Scope 1+2 net-zero by 2025 achieved, Scope 3 target 2050. VF Corp: lagging — Scope 3 baseline only set 2023, no net-zero commitment. Full comparison table attached.
Environmental monitoring for client sites
Access real-time air quality, emissions, and environmental data for client facilities. Document baseline conditions and track improvement over time for reporting and stakeholder communications.
Columbus: AQI 42 (Good), PM2.5 8.1 μg/m³, NO2 12 ppb. Memphis: AQI 67 (Moderate), PM2.5 16.4 μg/m³, NO2 18 ppb. Baton Rouge: AQI 88 (Moderate), PM2.5 21.2 μg/m³ — elevated due to refinery emissions. Recommend Baton Rouge as priority site for air quality monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ESG reporting frameworks can I research with these tools?
Deep Research covers TCFD, GRI, ISSB IFRS S1/S2, EU CSRD/ESRS, CDP, and SEC climate disclosure rules. You can pull current requirements, compare frameworks, track regulatory updates, and research how leading companies are structuring their disclosures.
How accurate is the solar production estimation?
Energy Data uses location-based solar irradiance data and standard capacity factors to estimate production for any address or coordinates. Estimates are directionally accurate for business case planning. For bankable project finance models, combine with site-specific engineering assessments.
Can I use air quality data for environmental impact reporting?
Air Quality provides real-time AQI, PM2.5, PM10, NO2, ozone, and other pollutant readings for any location worldwide. This is useful for documenting baseline environmental conditions, monitoring improvement over time, and supporting environmental impact sections of sustainability reports.
How can I find companies that urgently need sustainability consulting?
Lead Finder combined with SEC Filings helps identify companies with recent SEC comment letters on climate disclosures, material ESG risks disclosed in 10-K filings, or significant gaps versus peer disclosures. These are strong signals of urgency for sustainability advisory services.
Can these tools help with supply chain sustainability analysis?
Deep Research can map supply chain sustainability standards by industry (e.g., RBA for electronics, RSPO for palm oil, FSC for forestry). Combined with Company Lookup and Competitor Research, you can analyze a client's supplier base and benchmark against peers' supply chain programs.
