This survey is used to identify policies and practices at the company relating to environmental impacts. The survey identifies steps the company may be taking to mitigate environmental harm from water usage, energy usage, and greenhouse gas emissions. The data can be used to identify both areas of strength and ways in which the company can improve its environmental impact. The examination of environmental factors through a survey aligns with the Environmental (E) component of the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) framework. This focus aids in understanding a company's approach to managing its environmental footprint, which includes aspects like water and energy usage, as well as greenhouse gas emissions.
