Microsoft supplier sustainability response support
For Microsoft suppliers

Answer your Microsoft supplier GHG request with service-level accounting and consultant-letter support.

Keslio helps service businesses prepare total-company and service-level GHG emissions, document the methodology, organize evidence, and support the consultant-letter option for Microsoft supplier reporting.

People-led, not software-led

Built for teams without sustainability staff

Three accepted annual cycles

If the request is already in your inbox

You do not need to turn it into a broad ESG project.

You need a clear read of the Microsoft requirement, practical data records for total-company and service-level emissions, and a consultant-letter response your team can stand behind.

Why suppliers get stuck

Microsoft's guidance is public. Your exact requirement isn't.

Microsoft supplier reporting sits in an awkward gap: Microsoft's published disclosure-cycle guidance asks suppliers to address total-company and service-level data-integrity requirements through assurance or consultant-letter options, while the exact submission requirement still depends on the contract, portal wording, or written request you received.

The request sounds simple, then turns technical.

Scope 1, Scope 2, Scope 3 categories, service-level accounting, reference units, emission factors, evidence, and portal wording all need to line up.

The data lives everywhere except one clean file.

Finance, travel, utilities, procurement, cloud usage, HR, and operations records usually need to be turned into a defensible footprint.

A key customer relationship is attached to the response.

This is not a generic ESG exercise. It is a Microsoft supplier requirement that needs to look prepared, specific, and credible.

A strong response protects the Microsoft relationship and leaves your team with a documented process for the next annual request.

What we prepare

From first read to reusable evidence pack.

Keslio starts by reading the Microsoft wording, then scopes the total-company emissions, service-level accounting, evidence, methodology, and consultant-letter work needed for the response.

01

Request review

Keslio reads the Microsoft request, checks the deadline and likely scope, and tells you what the next step should be.

Clarity before scope
02

Fixed-fee project quote

You receive a bounded quote with timeline, data needs, deliverables, and the client inputs Keslio needs to start.

Defined project scope
03

Calculation and evidence build

Total-company and service-level emissions data are collected, calculated, documented, and organized for a buyer-facing response.

Defensible output
04

Consultant letter and refresh workflow

Keslio provides the consultant letter, supports clarification questions, and leaves the work ready for next year's refresh.

Reusable asset
And the year after

From confusing request to annual refresh.

The first year creates the evidence base. The next year should be faster, cleaner, and less stressful.

The first response does the heavy lifting. Here's what next year looks like once it's in place.

01

Microsoft request received

You share the portal wording, deadline, or supplier instruction that triggered the work.

02

Requirements mapped

Keslio identifies the total-company emissions, service-level accounting, evidence needs, and consultant-letter or assurance requirement.

03

Consultant-letter package

Calculations, methodology notes, supporting evidence, and consultant-letter documentation are prepared together.

04

Annual refresh

Next year starts from a working base instead of a blank spreadsheet.

What it costs

Fixed fees, quoted after your free review.

For Microsoft reviews, Keslio treats service-level accounting as core unless the request says otherwise. The exact quote depends on deadline, data quality, entities, service/reference-unit complexity, and whether the request requires independent assurance instead of a consultant-letter option.

Common questions

Common questions

Short answers for the first questions a Microsoft supplier usually has before sharing the request.

Can Keslio provide consultant letters?

Yes. Keslio provides consultant letters for Microsoft supplier GHG reporting projects when we complete the emissions calculation, methodology documentation, and supporting evidence review.

Can Keslio help with Microsoft service-level accounting?

Yes. Keslio treats service-level accounting as a core Microsoft workstream unless the request says otherwise, then confirms the exact service, project, contract, reference unit, or delivery-volume basis from the wording you received.

What happens in the free review?

Keslio reviews the Microsoft request, asks clarifying questions or schedules a short call if needed, then sends a fixed-fee quote with the likely timeline, data needs, and deliverables.

What data is usually needed?

Most service businesses need utility, fuel, travel, purchased goods and services, employee commuting, cloud or software usage where relevant, finance records, service lists, and reference-unit or delivery-volume data that support total-company and service-level calculations.

What if the request asks for something outside a consultant letter?

Keslio will flag that during review before quoting the project. This page is focused on Microsoft supplier GHG calculations, service-level accounting, and consultant-letter support. Independent assurance is a separate project.

Is Keslio affiliated with Microsoft?

No. Keslio is not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft. Keslio helps suppliers respond to customer sustainability requirements.

Keslio is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by Microsoft. Keslio provides independent sustainability advisory and GHG reporting support for suppliers responding to customer requirements.
