I am more OK with "sustainability" as IMHO "environmental-impact" places the emphasis on emissions over energy usage - both have a long-term impact on sustainability while energy usage may not have a direct/easily-reportable environmental impact.

I like all of these changes.

I noticed that the quarterly reporting period syntax has been removed, but hadn't seen any discussion of the change? Just wondering since there isn't a "changes" section at the end of your drafts...
