Start with the core modules
- Reports & Data Input – create a project, insert ESG data point by point, and shape the report narrative that everyone will eventually read.
- Risk Assessment & Value Chain – map stakeholders/entities, identify impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs), and capture the justification behind each topic.
- Monitoring & Improvement (Performance & Insights) – review dashboards, trends and AI insight cards so reporting turns into an ongoing improvement loop.
- Collaboration – invite people, assign roles and discuss everything (data, IROs, PAT items, roadmap tasks) exactly where the work happens.
