ESG & CSRD Reporting

The ESG & CSRD module aggregates transaction-level sustainability data into reporting-ready datasets that align with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) frameworks.

How it works

Every order and transaction processed through Hey Chocolate automatically contributes to your aggregated sustainability metrics. The API provides endpoints to pull reporting data at any time — no manual data collection required.

Generating a report

query {
  csrdReport(input: {
    period: { from: "2025-01-01", to: "2025-12-31" }
    scope: [SCOPE_1, SCOPE_2, SCOPE_3]
    format: ESRS
  }) {
    period { from to }
    totalTransactions
    emissions {
      scope1 { total unit breakdown { category value } }
      scope2 { total unit breakdown { category value } }
      scope3 { total unit breakdown { category value } }
    }
    products {
      totalTracked
      averageCo2
      bestPerformer { id name co2Equivalent }
      worstPerformer { id name co2Equivalent }
    }
    supplyChain {
      totalSuppliers
      certifiedPercentage
      averageTierDepth
    }
    trends {
      period
      co2Equivalent
      transactionCount
    }
  }
}

Scope breakdown

Scope	Description	Hey Chocolate coverage
Scope 1	Direct emissions	Operational data from your organization
Scope 2	Indirect (energy)	Energy consumption data
Scope 3	Value chain	Automatically calculated from all product and order data

ESRS alignment

The report output aligns with European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS):

ESRS Topic	Hey Chocolate data
E1 - Climate change	CO2 equivalents, emission trends, reduction targets
E2 - Pollution	Material toxicity, chemical safety profiles
E3 - Water & marine	Water footprint per product and aggregate
E5 - Circular economy	Recycled content, end-of-life scenarios, circularity scores
S2 - Workers in value chain	Supply chain certification data

Audit trail

All calculations feeding into CSRD reports are logged in an immutable audit trail:

query {
  reportAuditTrail(reportId: "report_2025") {
    entries {
      timestamp
      calculationId
      productId
      inputHash
      resultHash
      methodology
    }
    totalEntries
    integrityChecksum
  }
}

This is essential to prevent greenwashing claims and withstand regulatory scrutiny.

mutation {
  scheduleReport(input: {
    frequency: QUARTERLY
    scope: [SCOPE_1, SCOPE_2, SCOPE_3]
    format: ESRS
    webhookUrl: "https://your-app.com/webhooks/report"
    recipients: ["sustainability@company.com"]
  }) {
    scheduleId
    nextRunAt
  }
}
