Usee Evidential Quality CCTV sustainability score: 26/100

No formal emissions data has been published post-2022. The corporate sustainability page (usee.ie/corporate-sustainability) references a solar array generating approximately 6,500 kWh/year saving roughly 2 tonnes of CO2 annually, and a planned EV fleet transition from 2021 — but all stated actions are framed as 2021 intentions with no post-2022 update or verified delivery. Ireland has no mandatory GHG registry applicable to SMEs of this scale. Based on company size (estimated under 10 employees, a small Dublin-based office, and a light van fleet for on-site installations), the estimated total operational footprint is well under 500 tonnes CO2e — the planet barely notices this company's operations. Score reflects: no formal post-2022 data, but estimated footprint under 1,000 tonnes.

No Scope 3 data has been published. The supply chain is relatively simple and short: Usee.ie sources professional CCTV hardware from named manufacturers — Avigilon and Axis Communications — and installs it for Irish clients. The company website identifies these key suppliers explicitly. There is no formal supply chain carbon assessment, no Scope 3 calculation, and no supplier engagement programme. However, the supply chain is not complex or global in terms of operational decisions made by Usee.ie: they procure from established manufacturers and install locally. This warrants a score of 3 — awareness of key suppliers, short and identifiable supply chain, but no quantified assessment.

No multi-year emissions data is available from 2022 or later, making it impossible to verify any trajectory. The corporate sustainability page claims a target to be carbon negative by end of 2021, but this is a pre-2022 aspiration with no evidence of delivery, no baseline year emissions figure, and no subsequent annual report confirming progress. Under SINK rules, data older than 3 years is treated as non-disclosure. The company appears stable and small — no evidence of significant growth in operations — so it is reasonable to infer emissions are not materially rising. Score of 2 reflects: no trajectory data, small and apparently stable company.

The corporate sustainability page states that daytime energy needs at Usee HQ are powered by a Cloudforests solar array with battery storage, generating approximately 6,500 kWh of green electricity annually. This is a credible claim for a micro company — 6,500 kWh is consistent with a small rooftop solar installation covering office/workshop daytime usage. However, the claim dates from 2021 and there is no post-2022 confirmation, metering data, or third-party verification that the array remains operational or covers the majority of energy use. The van fleet electrification plan (Tesla EVs from 2021) has no evidence of completion. Score of 4 reflects on-site solar claimed but stale data and no verification.

The corporate sustainability page references a partnership with Cloudforests.ie, with a forestry site in Lahinch, Co. Clare, and an intention to plant over 38,000 trees removing over 100 tonnes of CO2 annually. This is a positive nature-related action, but it is framed as a 2021 commitment with no post-2022 verified update, no photographic or registry evidence of trees planted, and no formal biodiversity assessment. There is no TNFD disclosure. The company's direct operations (office + van fleet + CCTV installation) have negligible direct nature impact — no land use, no deforestation, no chemical discharge. Score of 3 reflects basic tree-planting initiative noted (awareness of impact) but no verified delivery post-2022.

No formal resource use or waste data has been published. Usee.ie is a service and installation business — its primary material flows are electronic equipment (CCTV cameras, cabling, control hardware) sourced from manufacturers and installed at client sites. There is no published recycling or take-back policy for electronic waste (WEEE), no circularity programme, and no waste reporting. The business footprint is modest — small office, light vans, electronic installation kits — but without any evidence of even basic waste management policies. Score of 2 reflects basic awareness at best, with minimal but unmanaged material footprint.

No water consumption data has been published. As a small electronic security installation and consultancy business operating from a Dublin-area office, water impact is genuinely negligible — the business has no manufacturing processes, no cooling towers, no chemical discharge, and no agricultural or industrial water use. The primary water use is domestic (office sanitation, cleaning). No pollution incidents have been found. For a service company of this scale and type, a score of 4 reflects genuinely low water impact with no evidence of any water-related risk.

The corporate sustainability page sets out an aspiration to be carbon negative by end of 2021, alongside a tree planting initiative and EV fleet plan. These are not science-aligned targets (no SBTi commitment or registration found), have no baseline emissions figures to measure against, and no post-2022 evidence that the carbon negative claim was achieved or is being maintained. No formal commitment has been lodged with any recognised standard body. The company is not on the SBTi target tracker. Score of 2 reflects informal, unverified, now-stale goals without specifics or demonstrated delivery.

Usee.ie maintains a dedicated corporate sustainability webpage (usee.ie/corporate-sustainability) and a tagged newsroom with categories for carbon, climate change, ESG, and sustainability. This demonstrates intentional communication about environmental matters. However, the sustainability content has not been updated post-2022, there is no formal sustainability report, no governance structure (board, sustainability committee) is described, no third-party verification is cited, and no quantified annual disclosures are made. For a micro-SME, owner-led sustainability awareness is expected and appropriate, but the stale state of the published information limits the score. Score of 3: sustainability is a documented business priority with some public information, but key data is absent and publication appears inactive.

No environmental controversies, regulatory actions, fines, or upheld complaints have been found against Usee.ie. No lobbying activity is registered with Ireland's Register of Lobbying. No InfluenceMap profile exists. No credible NGO criticism has been identified. The business model — electronic security system installation and support — has no structural exposure to fossil fuel infrastructure, no financed emissions, and no systemic enabling of third-party high-emission activities. The company makes unverified claims about being carbon negative (from 2021) which have not been updated or substantiated with post-2022 data, but no formal regulatory or advertising standards body complaint has been found regarding these claims. Start at 8, no deductions warranted.
