Importing IROs from Additional Sources to Datamaran’s IRO Hub

[Double Materiality module]

Within the IRO Hub, you can upload the following:

  • IROs from a previous assessment
  • Risk register 
  • Other IROs 

To do this, click on the three vertical dots icon on the right side of the IRO Hub and select “Import IROs”.

Fill in the template with the required information, ensuring that you maintain the correct format and keep the column headers unchanged—otherwise, the upload will not work.

The following columns are required:

(B) Description

(C) Value chain location

(D) Datamaran topic OR (E) ESRS topic

(H) Risk/Opportunity | Positive/Negative Impact

If you have already completed the IRO assessment, you can also upload the assessed criteria. Our import feature supports customization in the following areas:

  • Scales (ranges from 0 to 6)
  • Time-horizon combinations
  • IRO rationale
  • Criteria comments
  • Custom fields
  • Custom IRO scores
  • Materiality
  • Human Rights-related IROs

You can optionally check the box to delete all existing IROs from the first version of an analysis before importing new ones. This action cannot be undone.

Automatic adjustments during import

To ensure data validity, the system applies automatic adjustments to the Likelihood and Classification fields:

- If likelihood is set to the maximum available score in the selected scale, then Classification will be automatically adjusted to Current (for Risks and Opportunities ) or Actual (for Impacts).

- Inversely, if Likelihood is set to any score below the maximum option, then Classification will be automatically adjusted to Anticipated (for Risks and Opportunities) or Potential (for Impacts).

Once the template is completed, upload the file.

Note: imported IROs overwrite previously imported IROs.

Reviewing and Managing Imported IROs

Back in the IRO Hub, select a topic to view both AI-generated and imported IROs. These will be grouped by source.

You can edit or delete imported IROs at any time.

Additionally, the Datamaran Topic can be updated to a more appropriate one if needed.
