ESG Metrics

Overview

ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) module tracks sustainability metrics for construction projects. Carbon emissions calculated from fuel, electricity, and material transport. Energy and water consumption monitored against targets. Waste categorized and diversion rates tracked. Social metrics cover workforce diversity, community investment, and worker welfare. GRI-standard reports generated for stakeholder disclosure.

ESG Process

1

Emissions Measurement

Monthly diesel/petrol consumption from equipment and fleet modules auto-feeds Scope 1. Electricity bills input for Scope 2. Material transport distances for Scope 3.

2

Carbon Calculation

CO2e = quantity × emission factor. Factors from IPCC/MoEFCC guidelines. Cement emissions use clinker ratio formula. Aggregate carbon footprint per project.

3

Target Tracking

Annual ESG targets set per project. Monthly actuals compared against targets. Dashboard shows green/amber/red status for each metric.

4

GRI Reporting

Annual sustainability report generated following GRI Standards. Environmental, Social, and Governance disclosures compiled from module data.

5

Improvement Actions

For off-track metrics, improvement plans created with specific actions, responsible persons, and target dates.

ESG Queries

Carbon Footprint Summary

SELECT ce.scope, ce.source_type,
       SUM(ce.co2_tonnes) AS total_co2,
       ROUND(SUM(ce.co2_tonnes) * 100.0 /
         SUM(SUM(ce.co2_tonnes)) OVER(), 1) AS pct_of_total
FROM esg.carbon_emission ce
WHERE ce.project_id = :project_id
  AND ce.reporting_period = :period
GROUP BY ce.scope, ce.source_type
ORDER BY total_co2 DESC;

Validation Rules

Business Rules

  • Emission Factor: Must use country-specific emission factors (India: CEA for electricity)
  • Scope Classification: Direct fuel = Scope 1; purchased electricity = Scope 2; transport = Scope 3
  • Waste Diversion: Minimum 60% waste diversion rate target for all projects
  • GRI Compliance: Report must include all material topics identified in stakeholder assessment

Integration Points

Connected Modules

  • Equipment: Fuel consumption feeds Scope 1 emissions
  • Fleet: Vehicle fuel and km data for transport emissions
  • Environmental: Air/water quality data feeds environmental metrics
  • Finance: Carbon credit/offset costs tracked in project budget

Best Practices

Recommended

  • Set project-specific carbon reduction targets at inception
  • Use LED lighting and solar power in camp/site offices
  • Implement construction waste segregation at source
  • Track social metrics — local hiring, safety training hours, community investment
