What it is (plain English)
A system for running an ESG program: setting goals, collecting the underlying data (emissions, diversity, governance metrics), mapping it to reporting frameworks, and producing auditable disclosures — so ESG reporting is a managed, evidence-backed process rather than an annual spreadsheet marathon.
Problems it solves
- ESG data scattered across teams and spreadsheets, hard to trust or audit.
- Manual, error-prone assembly of disclosure reports.
- No clear ownership or tracking of ESG goals and initiatives.
- Difficulty keeping up with evolving reporting frameworks.
What must exist first
Platform Core Setup. Shares evidence/control patterns with GRC; data-source integrations feed the metrics.
What the customer needs to provide
- The frameworks/standards you report against (GRI, SASB, CSRD, etc.).
- Your ESG goals and the metrics behind them.
- Data sources for those metrics and their owners.
- Disclosure/reporting cadence and audit requirements.
Where it can go next
Reuses Policy & Compliance Management control/evidence structures; materiality and goals link to enterprise Risk Management; integrations automate metric collection.
