Frameworks refer to standardised methodologies or best practices for developing and implementing sustainability strategies. They provide a structured approach to identify, prioritise, and manage sustainability issues and measure and report performance. Frameworks typically include a set of guiding principles, goals, metrics, and tools organisations can use to improve their sustainability performance and achieve their objectives.
Framework Library is a collection of commonly used ESG frameworks, standards, and regulations that can be used to structure and report on ESG data. Users can select the relevant frameworks and standards for their business and reporting needs. The platform will automatically provide the appropriate metrics and guidance to ensure accurate and complete reporting.
