Using Operational Sustainability Management (formerly Environmental, Social, and Governance)

By using the Operational Sustainability Management application, you can import citations from various frameworks and create disclosures.

Using the Operational Sustainability Management application, you can perform the following tasks:

• Set up the ESG program with all the material topics, goals and targets, activities and emission factors.
• Define metrics to start collecting data, both automatically and manually, for the entire ESG program across the enterprise.
• Create disclosures for internal and external stakeholders.

• Use content packs such as Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Content Accelerator for Operational Sustainability or Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) for ESG frameworks.

• Disclosures in Operational Sustainability Management (formerly ESG Management)
  An Operational Sustainability Management disclosure refers to the practice of companies and organizations providing information and reports on their operational sustainability performance. These disclosures are designed to offer insights into how a company manages and addresses various sustainability-related issues. Users with the sn_esg.reporting_disclosure_manager role are responsible to manage the disclosure reports.

• Claims for reporting
  Claims for reporting are narrative statements or data points that organizations want to document and track for potential future use in disclosures.
• Reporting frameworks
  The Operational Sustainability Management application uses several sustainability reporting frameworks to help organizations report their economic, environmental, social, and governance performance. The Unified content management application is a centralized repository of frameworks, citations, metric definitions, and emission factors. Using this application accelerates the adoption of ESG frameworks.
• Set up analysis contexts and analyses
  To simulate different analyses, create an analysis context and define the metric and forecast periods, then create analyses. Use the forecast planning and analysis tools to generate and compare the outcomes of these analyses, evaluating the impact of different interventions.
• Now Assist for Operational Sustainability (formerly ESG)
