Yet a recent article from [Barton](https://www.bartonesq.com/news-article/small-businesses-and-the-potential-benefits-of-esg/) suggests that small businesses may feel they lack access to the resources used by larger companies to measure and implement ESG initiatives. Fortunately, ISNetworld® hosts a suite of tools through [ESG AssureTM](https://www.isnetworld.com/en/contractor-management-services/environmental-social-governance) to provide resources and education to facilitate progress toward sustainability goals. - **Scope 1 & 2 Emissions Calculator:** Contractor and supplier customers can input their fuel consumption (including gasoline, diesel, and compressed natural gas among others) which will automatically calculate their Scope 1 emissions. They can also input their electricity consumption to calculate their Scope 2 emissions. - **Webinars:** ISN hosts a [series of webinars](https://www.isnetworld.com/en/events?singledate=2022-08-24T00:00:00-05:00) discussing each component of ESG in more detail, including how to begin tracking environmental data, build social policies and procedures, and create a comprehensive ESG management system. - **Resources:** Our ESG Team professionals created an “Introduction to Sustainability” presentation to help educate customers on the history of sustainability, its growth, and why it is important to them and their customers. Questionnaires contain focused definitions and background information to assist the user in responding accurately. Need more information? It can be difficult to know where to start when collecting ESG data. That’s where ISN, a leader in contractor and supplier management, can help. If you are a current ISN Hiring Client subscriber, contact your account representative about incorporating sustainability into your contractor and supplier information management program.
