About

David Owo covers ESG compliance and sustainability regulation for Greennect, focusing on what EU frameworks such as the CSRD and VSME actually mean for small businesses without a sustainability team.

Green office habits that count as ESG evidence
Most green workplace guides read the same way. Turn off your monitor. Get a recycling bin. Add plants. None of them explains which habits generate ESG data. Nor do they explain which habits are just good feelings with no reporting value. That distinction matters now. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, 30% of the energy in commercial buildings is wasted.  That number is not a design problem. It is a behaviour problem. The lights were left on in empty meeting rooms. The...
