Business value
Your organization faces a diverse and growing set of regulatory and voluntary frameworks, directives, and standards in addition to your own disclosure requirements. It's challenging to synthesize large amounts of data across your organization into a comprehensive response. Moreover, the continuous updating of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) regulations and guidelines require significant volumes of data to be processed and reported in multiple formats on an on-going basis. Copilot in external reporting (preview) helps you find ESG facts from your source documents and accelerates your ability to draft disclosure requirements.
Feature details
Copilot in Sustainability Manager (preview) uses a large language model (LLM) to help you write qualitative and quantitative responses to fulfill ESG disclosure requirements. You can upload documentation and draft responses with references for various requirements across:
- Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
- Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
- International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
Copilot saves you time and effort by finding the relevant data from your documents and suggesting how to write facts that meet the disclosure requirements. You can review and edit the facts before adding them to your reports.
Copilot in Sustainability Manager (preview) is enabled by admins in external reporting in Sustainability Manager. You can learn more about Project ESG Reporting (preview), including a discussion about facts, concepts, and other terms at Overview of Project ESG Reporting (preview), plus an in depth tutorial at [Tutorial: Overview of Project ESG Reporting (preview)](/industry/sustainability/project-esg-reporting tutorial-overview).
