ESG – Scepter

ESG: A Growing Global Priority

ESG, Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance, is a concept that proposes to evaluate and demonstrate an organization’s sustainable and responsible performance, impact, and status within the areas of environmental, social, and corporate governance.

Focus on improving ESG factors reveals opportunities to enhance corporate reputation, employee engagement, and customer loyalty. With heightened awareness of the global environmental crises, sustainability practices, and corporate accountability, there is an increase in pressure on companies to act on ESG. As such, ESG is experiencing rapid adoption across a multitude of industries, government agencies, and NGOs. ESG is a global force creating a global opportunity for transformative change.

ESG considerations are a growing priority for investors, as ESG performance strongly correlates to financial performance. The importance of investing in ESG-focused entities is intensifying for investors, as ESG scores are increasingly published in the public domain, and organizations with high ESG status outperform those without it.

While within the ESG triad Scepter’s atmospheric awareness is most directly applicable to the ‘Environmental’ leg, increasing performance in one leg will increase an organization’s overall ESG performance. Scepter’s data and actionable information can be tailored to meet any environmental ESG reporting needs or goals, and used with confidence.

Scepter is the Apolitical Provider of Actionable Information for Environmental ESG Reporting

A variety of Earth-observation frameworks or vantage points may affect ESG goals and require specific data and information to meet targeted mandates or criteria. Scepter can improve framework insight and help to overcome political pitfalls. The following are examples of such vantage points:

UNSDGs: United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals

At the core of the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which relate to issues such as energy, climate, urbanization, water, and more. Among the SDGs, goal number 13, “Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts,” is one that directly indicates the need for Scepter’s actionable atmospheric information.

ECVs: Essential Climate Variables

Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) are physical, biological, or chemical variables, or a group of linked variables, that critically contribute to the characterization of Earth’s climate. 54 atmospheric, land, and ocean variables have been identified. Atmospheric ECVs pertain to both surface and upper-air atmosphere, and atmospheric composition.

Planetary Boundaries

The Planetary Boundary framework defines nine Earth system processes and their environmental limits on the safe operating space for humanity. Their stability is essential to maintaining the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, and ecosystems. Crossing these boundaries moves humanity from life on a habitable planet to extreme change that could endanger humanity.

Tipping Points

Tipping points are thresholds where even the smallest change could cause larger, more critical change that can be abrupt, irreversible, and lead to cascading effects.

Capturing the Dynamic Atmosphere: Criteria Air Pollutants, Climate Gases, and Atmospheric Climate Variables

Many monitoring systems focus on particular types of data and data capture, like ground sensors gathering methane data in a particular region, or a UAV fleet at 16,000 feet sampling CO². While knowing the location of a methane leak is important, its value increases when combined with variable climate data like wind and humidity—it becomes actionable information. Scepter captures what’s in the atmosphere and what’s happening in the atmosphere, bringing together a wide range of data sets to deliver comprehensive atmospheric situational awareness.

Global Coverage: ESG Around the World

The Clear Path to a Better ESG Image—A Lighter Footprint on the Atmosphere

Organizations looking for a clear path to improved ESG performance should start their journey with reliable, verifiable data. Comprehensive atmospheric situational awareness delivered by the ScepterAir technology platform is far superior to partial data provided by small, isolated networks of sensors. From a global network of satellite-to-terrestrial-level atmospheric monitoring throughout the entire vertical air column, to data aggregation, fusion, normalization, advanced analytics, machine learning, and multidimensional visualized presentation, the ScepterAir platform enables the generation of entirely new, transformational information.

Visualized information and data is simply easier to understand and use than raw data, so it’s easy to take action on it. Scepter’s actionable atmospheric information and data can be tailored to meet specific environmental ESG reporting needs and applied to any framework, goals, or vantage point.

For organizations, government agencies, or NGOs—in any industry—seeking a clear path to a better ESG image, Scepter delivers actionable information and data to improve ESG performance and create a lighter footprint on the atmosphere.
