Tackling Lease Complexity in ESG Reporting

Leases introduce unique complexity for teams tackling carbon accounting and ESG reporting.  

Data integrity and completeness can be challenging to maintain for materiality assessments and audits as lease footprints change and equipment turns over. Setting operational boundaries can be murky as the guidance is not yet clear on how to classify emissions from leased assets – are they scope 1? Scope 2? Scope 3? Accessing data requires collaboration with finance, operations, sustainability and real estate teams - and external parties like builders, brokers, utility companies and landlords.  

In this webinar, we’ll cover:  

• Common lease complexities for reporting companies to consider  

• Creative ways companies are navigating data access, data integrity, and internal controls challenges in their lease portfolio 

• An update on regulatory reporting landscape and what the election results mean for companies 

• The role technology will play to maintain internal controls and ensure a seamless audit
