While MS Excel has gained popularity as ESG Engagement Tracker due to its flexibility.
It has many important shortcomings including:
- Access & Retrieval: Users often struggle to keep track of MS Excel file names and their location in mailboxes or shared folders.
- Version Control: It poses challenges as multiple users working on the same spreadsheet simultaneously can lead to data loss and the co-existence of multiple versions.
- Data Integrity: Maintaining data consistency is difficult due to challenges in controlling user input, such as who can edit, value formats, and error management.
- Workflow Management: MS Excel lacks automation and functionality for example to relate ESG Engagement activities (emails, appointments, tasks, and more) with documents, notes and other entities.
As ESG regulations and labeling requirements become increasingly stringent, MS Excel may lead to compliance issues that are hard to resolve.
ResearchPool’s solution enables users to easily log, upload and tag any activity, documents and notes directly from MS Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. ESG Engagement can then be tracked per issuer, sector, type and other criteria, making investment decisions easier and better informed. All is supported by a solid audit trail and input rules.
Comprehending ESG Engagement
A variety of initiatives are included in ESG engagement, which is designed to persuade businesses to embrace environmentally and socially conscious practices. There are a number of ways that this involvement might occur, such as investor-management discussions, shareholder resolutions, joint ventures, and advocacy campaigns. Through these exchanges, stakeholders influence corporate decision-making procedures and promote adherence to ESG guidelines.
