The following changes have been made to the Authenticate platform


ESG Comparison Report - Coming Soon


A new report is being created that will allow users to compare their ESG performance against other organizations that have completed the assessment.


By default, results will be compared to all other ESG assessments "performed" in the previous year with the ability to change the reporting period. Results currently show:

  • Count of companies compared with

  • Overall scores vs average

  • Overall outcomes (foundational / transitional / transformation) vs average

  • Section scores vs average (Environmental - Strategy, Environmental - Results etc x 9)

  • Section outcomes vs average


Once complete, users will also be able to select and view how they compare for each question and see how their score and outcome for the section and overall assessment compare based on their response



Available in Release 12
