Built-in formulas and visual indicators support recurring management reviews, sustainability reporting preparation, and executive decision-making.

🌫️ 2. EMISSIONS TRACKING & ESG REPORTING

EMISSIONS_TRACKER

Document Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions using activity quantities, measurement units, emission factors, locations, and data quality information.

Automatic CO2e calculations use Activity Quantity × Emission Factor, with results expressed in kgCO2e.

ESG_REPORTING

Track environmental, social, and governance targets, baseline values, actual results, achievement percentages, and performance status.

COMPLIANCE_CHECKLIST

Manage ESG- and CSRD-related requirements, responsible owners, priorities, evidence references, due dates, and completion progress.

The system supports internal CSRD readiness coordination but does not contain a complete ESRS disclosure library, double materiality assessment, or automated CSRD report generator.

SUPPLIER_ASSESSMENT

Evaluate suppliers using ESG criteria, criticality, calculated scores, risk classifications, audit information, and review dates.

SOCIAL_IMPACT_LOG

Document social initiatives, relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), beneficiaries, volunteer hours, financial investments, outcome scores, and verification information.

GOVERNANCE_INDICATORS

These modules support structured sustainability reviews, supplier oversight, and social impact documentation.

⚠️ 4. ESG RISKS, AUDITS & OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT

RISK_REGISTER

Record ESG risks, responsible owners, mitigation actions, review dates, and status. Automatic Likelihood × Impact calculations support Low, Medium, and High risk classifications.

AUDIT_TRACKER

Manage ESG audits, findings, severity, assigned owners, follow-up dates, completion status, and closure information.

PROJECT_PLAN

Coordinate sustainability initiatives, project phases, responsibilities, timelines, budgets, progress, and RAG status.

TASK_MANAGER

CAPACITY_PLANNER

Compare available capacity with planned hours. Automatic utilization calculations identify OK, Tight, and Overloaded workload conditions.
