Using managed frameworks

Edit online

A complete set of framework questions for each ESG standard that IBM® ESG Suite supports is available in the Framework Library under Envizi Library. Guidance about how to collate responses is provided for each question.

About this task

When you create a disclosure, you can add questions from a managed framework to draft a response that aligns with its requirements. Managed frameworks come with predefined questions and guidance, making it easier to collate responses. Questions are grouped into topics based on the framework, and you can enable cross-framework categorization if you are using multiple frameworks.

For more information on managed frameworks, see Managed frameworks

Procedure

  1. Add questions to a disclosure. See Adding questions.
  2. Designate an Assignee and Contributors to the question to formulate a response. See Assigning questions.
  3. As an Assignee or Contributor, review the question, details, and guidance to understand the requirements of the question to help you formulate a response.
  4. If the question has a related question in another framework, see the Related Questions section in the right panel of the response page. You can refer to the responses to formulate your own response. See Copy a related response.
  5. If responses to the same question exist in a different disclosure, see the Previous Responses section in the right panel of the response page. You can refer to these responses or copy them directly into your response. See Copy a previous response.
  6. If account styles have been mapped to the particular question, you can see them in the Mapped Account Styles section in the right panel of the response page. See Mapping account styles.
  7. When you have provided your response, click Save.
    By following these steps, you can efficiently use questions in managed frameworks to populate your disclosure responses, and ensure comprehensive and accurate ESG reporting.
