Adding a custom issue

After setting up your company profile, you’ll be provided with a preliminary list of issues. However, you may also want to add your own issues to further customise your assessments. We highly encourage you to practise creating custom issue(s) for a more accurate report.

  1. Navigate to the preliminary list of issues. From here, click the + button in the top right corner of the list.

  2. From the menu, select Create new ESG issue.

  3. Input the details required. (Note: Only the ID field is optional)

  4. Click Save and close

  5. Your newly created custom issue will now appear in your preliminary list of issues. It will be highlighted for your convenience.

Legend: Clicking + will open the Add custom ESG issue option

Note: If you prefer selecting issue(s) from a library, simply follow the steps here.
