[Executive Dashboard module]
To set up your External Risk Analysis, navigate to the Executive Dashboard.
Click ‘Create New’ in the three-dot menu beside the analysis name.
Fill out the Risk Analysis parameters by:
1. Naming the analysis
2. Select how you want to analyse risks by choosing the issue mapping. Datamaran provides data-driven and industry-specific Issue mapping templates, curated by our experts and aligned with major reporting standards. You can use the one that corresponds to your company's sector or the one you are using in your materiality analysis.
Note that you are able to edit the existing issue mappings and tailor them to your analysis.
3. Using the drop-down boxes, select the relevant parameters you want to populate your analysis with:
- Industry(ies): The Datamaran Executive Dashboard industry classification is based on SASB's Sustainable Industry Classification System® (SICS®). By default, your company's industry is associated with our database. You can edit it if needed and select another Industry.
- Country(ies) of operation: The default setting is based on the country where your corporate headquarters are located. You can add your countries of operation or influence from the drop-down list and you can select a whole region instead of individual countries.
- Companies for benchmarking: select key peers or companies of interest to benchmark your disclosure against. We recommend selecting around ten peers.
4. Click ‘Save & Run analysis’. Our software automatically scans our database of external sources to conduct a unique analysis based on the parameters you input.
5. You will then be directed to the Risk Overview page where you can explore the insights in detail.
All completed analyses are saved to the Executive Dashboard, where they can be accessed at any time.
Note that monitored analyses will show the latest version of the analysis.
