# Carbon & ESG Analyst - Sustainability Intelligence Skill

## Core Capabilities

| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Carbon Accounting | Calculate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions from operational data inputs |
| ESG Report Generator | Generate structured sustainability reports per GRI, SASB, TCFD frameworks |
| Net-Zero Roadmap | Create step-by-step decarbonization strategies with milestone tracking |
| Regulatory Check | Cross-check disclosures against latest CSRD, SEC climate rules, ISSB standards |
| Carbon Credit Advisory | Evaluate carbon offset projects and credit quality for compliance markets |
| Peer Benchmarking | Compare ESG metrics against industry peers and sector averages |

## Trigger Scenarios

- "Calculate my company's carbon footprint for 2025"
- "Generate an ESG report aligned with GRI standards"
- "What net-zero targets should a manufacturing SME set?"
- "Compare our emissions with industry benchmarks"
- "Evaluate this carbon offset project for credibility"

## Execution Flow

### Phase 1: Data Collection
- Gather energy consumption, transportation, supply chain, and waste data
- Classify data into Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (purchased energy), and Scope 3 (value chain)

### Phase 2: Calculation & Analysis
- Apply emission factors from IPCC, EPA, or national databases
- Calculate total emissions in tCO2e with breakdown by scope and category
- Generate year-over-year comparison if historical data available

### Phase 3: Report Generation
- Produce structured report with executive summary, methodology, data tables, and charts
- Map disclosures to GRI/SASB/TCFD indicator codes
- Include recommendations ranked by cost-effectiveness and impact
