Welcome to the SME Reporting Tool

Once submitted, the disclosed report and data provided through the tool will be made public through the SME Climate Hub, in line with the SME Climate Commitment. SMEs will be able to access their full report and data through the Our SMEs page. Businesses that have already published a climate report can confirm that their report fulfills the SME Climate Hub reporting requirements and upload this report to the SME Climate Hub. One example is provided here.

The next reporting deadline for organisations that have not yet submitted their reports is October 1st 2024. The disclosure requirements are described in the Rules for Reporting.

Note: (*) Highlights questions which are mandatory in order to disclose progress in line with the SME Climate Commitment and United Nations’ Race to Zero starting line criteria. Other fields are non-mandatory - aiming to support your climate strategy and for highlighting key areas like getting a loan and articulating the impact of your green product or service.

Commitment and Targets

Describe your net zero and near-term targets. To reach net net zero means that the organisation has reduced its value chain emissions (scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 emissions) following a science-based pathway, with any remaining residual greenhouse gas emissions being fully neutralized by permanent or like-for-like removals exclusively claimed by that organization.

The term ”residual” refers to emissions that remain technically unfeasible to be eliminated. A widely applicable guideline is that such residual emissions shall not exceed 10% of baseline emissions.

Own Emissions

Businesses have the most control over their Scope 1 and 2 emissions, making them the best place to start for measurement and reduction.

These emissions come from use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gases, for instance in boilers, vehicles or refrigeration, and from purchased energy, cooling, heating and steam. ‘Emissions’ include all greenhouse gases, measured in CO2 equivalent (CO2e) - the universal unit of measurement for evaluating the global warming potential of different greenhouse gases.

Value Chain Emissions

Value chain emissions are key to understanding your emissions, but they are difficult to measure.

The SME Climate Hub expects SMEs to develop value chain emissions reporting over time. Businesses at the start of their climate action journey might report that they are not yet measuring their value chain emissions.

An SME farther along in their climate action journey might be measuring some key value chain emissions categories.

Scope 3 emissions

4.1 Have you measured any of your scope 3 emissions? *

4.2 Have you asked any of your suppliers to set a net zero target (either voluntarily or as a requirement)? *

4.2.1 What percentage of your suppliers have you asked? *

4.3 Have you communicated your commitment and actions to any of your customers? *

4.4 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy and any tools used to calculate your scope 3 emissions. *

Climate Solutions

This section applies to SMEs who provide climate solutions to describe the positive impact their business is making on the climate.

A climate solution is a product or service that meets a need in society, contributes to the reduction of GHG emissions and has significantly lower emissions than business-as-usual options.

Production and consumption of climate solutions is compatible with the global 1.5°C ambition, and will accelerate the transition towards a net zero carbon economy.

5.1 Do you classify any of your existing goods and/or services as a climate solution? To qualify as a climate solution, a product or service must fulfil one or more of the following three criteria:

A significantly lower carbon footprint per functional unit – at least 50% lower than the business-as-usual option being replaced.
Primary purpose of enabling others to reduce their emissions.
Meets or exceeds a credible threshold of emissions per functional unit, making it fit for a net zero world.

5.2 What percentage of your total revenue comes from sales of climate solutions? *

5.3 Provide descriptions/names of your climate solutions: *

5.4 Methodology used to assess these as climate solutions, and third party which has validated the assessment, if any: *

6.1 What governance processes do you have in place for your climate strategy? Choose as many as are applicable. *
