Datamaran's mention viewer tool allows you to explore how other companies in your industry disclose ESG Impacts, Risks, Opportunities (IRO). By examining their best practices, you can enhance your own strategy and risk management. This is particularly important when addressing an issue with a less developed approach, as it can highlight important details such as governance, targets, risk practices, and key performance indicators (KPIs). You can then adopt these practices to improve your own management approach.
To find out the market ESG risk disclosing practices, you need to identify which companies are placing a high emphasis on specific topics and on which disclosure document. Once you have spotted those companies disclosing your topic of interest, you just need to select the report to access the Mention viewer. The tool will allow you to explore the mentions related to the topic directly in their reports. This can help you find inspiration on topics you might want to communicate better next year.
Datamaran gives you two straightforward representations of your peers' disclosure practices. This allows you to spot the companies that are placing a high emphasis on the underlying topics connected with your particular risk:
