Using ESG

The ESG use case supports the following processes.

Defining your organization context

Before you can assess materiality and begin metrics reporting, you must define the relevant organizational details for your ESG program, such as the organizational units that will be subject to reporting.

For more information, see Defining Your Organizational Context.

Assessing materiality

The use case allows you to determine which material topics matter most to your stakeholders and the organization based on a single materiality approach.

Note: If you're using ESRS, see the documentation for Archer Double Materiality Calculator.

For more information, see Assessing Materiality.

Metric reporting

Once you've determined your material topics and selected the most appropriate standards, the use case enables you to gather the metrics that matter most to your organization, report on metric performance against thresholds and objectives, and document issues with metrics that don't meet thresholds.

The use case allows you to gather metrics based on the standards that your organization has decided to report on. The ESG Library allows you to import the latest version of the SASB and GRI standards and selected ESRS and IFRS standards, which you can use as the blueprint for your organization metrics. The library also allows you to import the TCFD framework, which lets you produce your TCFD reporting in the use case.
