Keeping track of multiple ESG framework disclosures and analysing ESG reporting is difficult without an efficient system in place. It is not only an immense strain on both time and resources, but it is crucial to ensure finance-grade levels of accuracy and full auditability.
Inadequate management of these essential responsibilities can mean unforeseen difficulties down the road. That is why having an effective process is essential for any successful organization.
This module includes over 1,000 questions from all major international ESG reporting frameworks, such as SASB, GRI, UN SDGs and TCFD, which are kept up to date as reporting requirements change.
In addition, responses can also be reused from previous years and similar responses can be reused across different ESG frameworks.

Report to multiple ESG frameworks from one dataset
Accessing performance data for multiple, different ESG frameworks has never been simpler. Reporting complexity is now a thing of the past. With this platform, you can quickly access all ESG performance data in a single system, saving you valuable time and resources.
From there, the single system allows you to update, manage and report your ESG performance data through each of your chosen frameworks at the same time, without rekeying or regenerating responses for each separate framework. Responses can simply be copied through, wherever required across frameworks.
You will dramatically reduce reporting complexity with our single, unified platform – unlocking unprecedented access to all your ESG performance data.
Elevate your ESG reporting with finance grade data management. Our solution provides a comprehensive, secure, and efficient system that enables auditors to confirm your data integrity.
From corporate sustainability reporting to annual and sustainability reports, the outcome is accurate with thorough presentations that capture the value of your business.
In order to manage and report your ESG data in accordance with external ESG reporting frameworks, it is imperative to systematically manage all associated inputs.
These inputs include disclosures for the overall frameworks and include topic specific standards, risk and opportunities and other underlying measures which objectively assess long term ESG performance.
Taking a proactive approach to the application of ESG standards and developing robust routines enables you to stay up to date, fulfil legislation and creates a platform for comprehensive sustainability planning and improved performance.
Making efficient use of your time is essential when managing corporate sustainability reporting. By reusing previous and similar responses across ESG frameworks, sustainability reports, and annual report requirements, you can reduce the burden of constantly creating distinct responses.

Frequently asked questions
What are ESG frameworks, and why are they important for reporting?
ESG frameworks refer to established standards and guidelines used to assess Environmental, Social, and Governance factors in a company’s operations.

By adhering to ESG frameworks, companies can demonstrate their commitment to sustainable practices and transparency, gaining trust from stakeholders and investors.
Which are the major international ESG frameworks used for reporting?
Some of the major international ESG frameworks used for reporting include:
- Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
- Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB)
- Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)
- United Nations Global Compact (UNGC)
- Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)
Are there any guidelines for selecting the most suitable ESG framework for a company?
Yes, selecting the right ESG framework depends on various factors, including the company’s industry, size, and geographic location. Additionally, companies should consider their stakeholders’ expectations and the specific ESG issues that are most relevant to their operations. Conducting a materiality assessment can help identify the most significant ESG topics for a company to report on.
