ESGzonEX characteristics
Research template
How the ESGzonEX standard structure is built.
ESG research process structure
The ESGzonEX process structure is built with the following hierarchy:
- Areas
- Categories (all of a Type)
- Sub-Categories (optional)
- Inputs (this is where you can be creating ESG research data)
ESG rating structure
The ESGzonEX rating structure is built with the following structure:
- Indicators (this is where you create or store ESG research data)
- Sectors
- Materiality matrix (weight per Indicator for given sector)
The process structure is mandatory for using the platform (would not make sense otherwise!), the rating structure is optional but recommended as it permits to compare and sort from best to worst.
Input types
The inputs are data gathered or created during the ESG research process and can have different formats.
Text
The default input type is text.
Numerical
If numerical input type is specified, it is the only permitted.
Drop down
Drop down inputs wil offer a choice of values as per specification in the set up
Team drop down
The Team drop down will offer a choice of all onboarded team members for the given client
Functions
A number of predefined mathematical functions including logical operators and conditions is available. For specific needs, we develop new functions.
Screenshot drop zone
Images can be dropped or uploaded as an input when specified. NB! File type and size limitations apply.
Other characteristics
Other characteristics of the ESGzonEX structure, like options that can make your set up very advanced.
Optional additional ESG research processes
The platform permits up to two additional research processes using separate ESG research process structures within one research template, but without ESG rating structures.
Multi research template set up
A client can have different research templates (sets of ESG research process and ESG rating systems). These can be available at the same time or be separated by different time periods.
Register for companies, clients, suppliers or other research objects.
The register of research objects is independent of the research instances.
Periodicity
The system is rigged for different research frequencies; annual, semiannual or quartely.
