Do's and Don'ts when creating your issue mapping

Datamaran's issue mapping feature allows you to identify the most significant ESG issues for your company or sector among an extensive set of pre-set ESG topics and tailor those issues to your company's existing strategy.

Do's

Use as many Datamaran topics as possible

Use the data-driven, industry-specific topic mappings curated by our data scientists as a starting point. 

Edit your issues' names and descriptions in a way that is understandable both internally and externally.

Only exclude the topics that are undeniably irrelevant or non-applicable to your business.



Don'ts

Don't put the same topic in more than one issue 

It may hinder the statistical validity of the analysis

Don't create very broad issues (more than 5 topics) or very narrow ones (less than 2 topics)

This ensures a similar level of granularity across all issues.
