Aggregating Data

Last updated on 2025-05-05

Overview

As an ESG Administrator, once you have approved the data submitted by all your reporting entities for an ESG report, you can aggregate this data at just a click of your mouse. The aggregated data are used to automatically generate a report containing the individual reporting data for the assigned reporting entities and the aggregated numerical data. The aggregated data are also prepared for the import into the Lucanet Disclosure Management solution for further processing. 

Aggregating Data

To aggregate the ESG data:

  1. If necessary, open Data Collection.
    You will see all the data submitted by the respective reporting entities. The icon in front of the report name indicates the status of the data in question. This screen also shows when the report data in question were last modified. 
  2. Navigate to the approved report data.
    Note: Before you can aggregate the ESG data, you must approve all the data submitted by the respective reporting entities. 
  3. Click Next.
