Datamaran's "Issue Mapping" editor tool gives you the option to assign categories to your issues. For example, you may wish to sort by "Environmental," "social," "Governance", or by the location of an issue's impact in your value chain, such as "Upstream" or "Downstream". The data is displayed to facilitate the storytelling of your ESG journey.
To add categories to your list of issues:
- Click "Issue mapping" on the menu to the left of the page
2. Select your applicable issue mapping from the list
3. Go to the "Categories" tab to create your categories (up to 8 categories are allowed), and select a color for each category created
4. Go to the "Editor" tab to assign a category to each issue by selecting the "Category" box
5. Change issues by clicking the "Issue" box to ensure you select a category for all issues
6. Once you have assigned a category to all the issues in your topic mapping, click "save"
You will be able to see the categories reflected in your Materiality Matrix. You may hide the categories to visualize differences by selecting the viewing options.
