This **ESG Carbon Screening Questionnaire** provides a structured, professional framework for gathering critical environmental data from portfolio companies, enabling accurate carbon accounting, regulatory compliance, and informed investment decisions. #### Built for Fund Managers and ESG Teams Whether you're conducting initial due diligence on a potential investment or performing annual ESG assessments across your portfolio, this template covers industry classification, revenue breakdown, Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data, and emission reduction targets. The conditional logic ensures you collect relevant detail based on each company's industry and operational profile. #### Streamline Carbon Data Collection Replace scattered spreadsheets and email chains with a single, professional form that portfolio companies can complete efficiently. Conditional questions adapt to each respondent's industry and circumstances, while calculation fields help validate reported data. All responses flow into your preferred tools—whether that's your ESG reporting platform, CRM, or a consolidated dashboard. #### Connect Your ESG Workflow with Stepper Once a portfolio company submits their carbon screening data, use [Stepper](https://stepper.io) to automatically route high-emission companies for deeper assessment, flag missing data fields for follow-up, update your ESG tracking system, and trigger carbon intensity calculations across your entire portfolio.
