SUSTAINABILITY REPORT REVIEW · Workflow idea

Find structural issues in a sustainability report before it moves forward.

Provide a report file for a preliminary check of its structure, required tags, and key identifying details. Receive a review summary of possible errors and warnings, then have a qualified reporting professional verify every finding against the original before making a compliance judgment, updating records, or sharing the report externally.

The handoff

A preliminary report review with potential errors, warnings, and identifying details ready for human assessment.

Keep in mind

A structural check is not a compliance determination, and an apparent issue may depend on reporting rules or context. Protect unpublished company information, verify findings against the original and applicable requirements, and require a qualified reviewer to approve any conclusion, external message, or reporting decision.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose authorized report submissions

Define who may provide reports and where the files may be kept during review.

Set review criteria and scope

Document the structural checks to perform and keep the applicable reporting requirements current.

Protect unpublished reporting details

Restrict access to report files and review summaries to people with an approved business need.

Assign qualified reviewers

Name who verifies findings and who approves compliance statements, record changes, or external messages.
