OVERVIEW

What Is ESG Scoring?

ESG scoring is the process of quantifying and comprehensively assessing a company’s non-financial performance across three pillars:Environmental – Social – Governance.

The scoring framework is standardized based on international standards and frameworks such as GRI Standards, IFRS S1/S2 and CDP, together with disclosure requirements under Circular No. 96/2020/TT-BTC.

An ESG scorecard is not only a measure of transparency and climate risk management capability, but also an important “passport” that helps enterprises access Green Credit under Circular No. 17/2022/TT-NHNN, attract sustainable investment capital, and overcome increasingly stringent requirements in international supply chains.

TARGET ENTERPRISES

Which Enterprises Need ESG Scoring?

Listed Companies & Public Companies
Fulfil mandatory disclosure requirements on Environmental and Social impacts in Annual Reports in accordance with Circular No. 96/2020/TT-BTC and requirements of the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HOSE) and Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX).
Enterprises Seeking Green Credit & Investment Funds
Meet environmental and social risk assessment requirements of commercial banks under Circular No. 17/2022/TT-NHNN in order to access preferential loan packages, issue Green Bonds, and attract sustainable investment capital from international financial institutions.
Exporters & Enterprises in Global Supply Chains

CHALLENGES

Challenges in ESG Implementation

Lack of Standardization in ESG Frameworks & Materiality Matrices
Enterprises often struggle to navigate different international frameworks such as GRI Standards, IFRS S1/S2 and CDP, together with domestic requirements under Circular No. 96/2020/TT-BTC.
This can lead to incorrect identification of material topics relevant to the enterprise’s specific industry.
Fragmented Data and Lack of Audit Trails
Operational data is often scattered across different departments such as: (HSE, HR, Accounting, Operation), manual data collection through Excel can lead to errors, inconsistencies and a lack of digital supporting evidence for independent assessment and verification.
Complexity in Quantifying Emissions & Specialized Indicators
Enterprises may face significant challenges in calculating Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 GHG emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol, as well as quantifying Social and Governance indicators. These limitations can make it more difficult to meet Green Credit assessment requirements under Circular No. 17/2022/TT-NHNN.
Lack of Visualization & Industry Benchmarking Tools
Without a real-time dashboard, enterprises find it difficult to: monitor ESG implementation progress; identify compliance gaps; compare performance with industry averages; make timely decisions for improvement.

ESGreen provides a comprehensive digital ecosystem that helps enterprises standardize non-financial data, automatically calculate ESG scores in real time, and transparently and consistently manage their sustainability roadmap. From advanced quantitative functions and an optimized five-step ESG assessment process to support for Green Credit applications and global supply-chain requirements, ESGreen helps enterprises turn compliance challenges into sustainable competitive advantages.

PROCESS

ESG Scoring Process

Step 1: Define ESG Criteria & Industry Weightings

Select an appropriate assessment framework based on the enterprise’s size and industry. Establish a materiality matrix for Environmental – Social – Governance indicators aligned with: GRI Standards; IFRS S1/S2; Circular No. 96/2020/TT-BTC.

Step 2: Assign Responsibilities & Collect Cross-Departmental Data

he system provides role-based accounts for relevant departments such as: HSE; HR; Accounting; Risk Management. Each department enters operational data and attaches supporting documentation for verification.

Step 3: Automated Reconciliation, Standardization & Emissions Calculation

The platform automatically checks the validity of input data and converts energy and material consumption into Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions using standardized emission factors.

Step 4: Consolidate Data & Calculate ESG Ratings

The algorithm automatically quantifies detailed scores for each pillar: Environmental – Social – Governance. It then calculates an overall ESG score and generates real-time analytical charts.

Step 5: Gap Analysis & Report Generation

Identify criteria that have not yet been met and benchmark enterprise performance against industry averages. Based on the results, the system recommends areas for improvement and automatically generates Sustainability Reports for disclosure and Green Credit assessment.
