Be prepared:
With AMANA software to the consistent ESG reporting

The depiction of ecological (environmental), social and governance influences has become increasingly important in recent times and many companies can no longer imagine doing without them. Accordingly, extensive changes in sustainability reporting are imminent. Many companies are obliged to report on environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects for the first time by 2025. The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires approximately 50,000 companies in the EU to provide detailed sustainability reports as part of a digital management report - and many other international initiatives around the world are in the process of making this mandatory for non-EU companies as well.

Find the latest information from the current Exposure Draft of the European Sustainability Reporting Standard (ESRS) in our blog post.

Below are the challenges that arise from the current reporting and publication process that can be easily implemented with our solutions:

  • How to calculate, collect and consolidate the required data points by using solutions from AMANA partners.
  • Using disclosure management software to be able to work collaboratively on the sustainability statements.
  • Automate the data flow from various sources into management reports in order to eliminate manual and error-prone process as well as to optimize the last-mile reporting process.
  • Options how to handle formatting and the production of glossy and ready-to-print reports in Word or InDesign as well as online reports.
  • Digital tagging of sustainability and financial statements with the ESRS or ISSB XBRL taxonomy.
  • Auditing and publication of the final report.

ESG reporting with the AMANA XBRL Tagger

The European Commission has adopted the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) for use by all companies subject to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). It defines around 178 sector-agnostic disclosure requirements, sector specific disclosure requirements. Those disclosure requirements describe hundreds of single data points and narrative disclosures that must be reported in a human-readable report, as well as in a digital and machine-readable format.

Included are data points on water and energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, biodiversity as well as many social aspects like disclosures on workforce. Policies, targets, and specific action plans will have to be reported in order to see how companies are going to face the challenges of a changing world and climate change.

In our webinar, we are going to summarize the challenges regarding the actual reporting and publication process focusing tagging of sustainability statements with the ESRS XBRL taxonomy.

We will show how our XBRL Tagger will make it possible to easily and simply perform the tagging process and the generation of an iXBRL report.

AMANA supported us in the implementation of the SmartNotes Disclosure Management System for external reporting. The implementation project and the automated processes were an excellent experience for our team. In our Annual Report all major contents including our Financial Reports as well as the ESG contents (Environment, Social and Governance) of the report are maintained in SmartNotes. The charts have been built in Excel according to the Corporate Design standards with automated data feeds. The source system is IBM Cognos with automated connections to numbers in charts, tables and to numbers in the text. The ready-to-publish format from Word eliminated the manual InDesign work and significantly improved the process effiency.
