The submission process is relatively straight forward and comprises the following steps:
1. Set up a new ESG submission (typically you complete a submission once every 12 months).
2. Invite colleagues to your ESG team. These are the people who will help complete the submission.
3. Specify the projects you are reporting on.
4. Answer a number of ESG questionnaires. There is a questionnaire for your company as a whole and a separate questionnaire for each project.
5. Each question provides guidance, a list of global standards which relate to that question and the ability to add a supporting narrative and upload evidence.
6. You review all answers provided, assign a Board-appointed Approver and request an invoice.
7. At this point of submission, you will be issued with an invoice.
8. Your Board-Appointed Approver must review the submission, approve and submit for scoring. At this point your submission becomes locked to edits.
9. Our team of ESG experts will score your submission based on standardised scoring guidelines.
10. You will be issued with a score and ESG report. You have the opportunity to discuss the assessment at a debrief call with Digbee after which the finalised ESG report and a communications pack is sent to you.
