Target Audience

This workflow is ideal for sustainability professionals, compliance officers, and ESG analysts who need to efficiently manage and audit CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) reports. It is particularly useful for teams that handle large volumes of email communications and require an automated solution to ensure compliance with sustainability reporting standards.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of manually reviewing and auditing CSRD XHTML reports received via email. It automates the extraction, analysis, and summarization of report content, significantly reducing the time and effort required to ensure compliance with reporting requirements. By automating these processes, it minimizes the risk of human error and ensures that critical findings are communicated promptly.

Workflow Steps

  • Email Trigger: The workflow is triggered by a new email in your Gmail account. It specifically looks for emails with the subject line containing 'CSRD Reporting'.
    2. Download Attachment: If the email contains an attachment, the workflow downloads it for further processing.
    3. Extract HTML: The downloaded attachment is processed to extract the XHTML content.
    4. Check the Format: The extracted content is analyzed for compliance with CSRD requirements, checking for essential tags, empty disclosures, and duplicates.
    5. AI Agent: Based on the audit results, an AI agent generates a professional summary email to the sustainability team, highlighting key findings and suggesting next steps.
    6. Reply: The generated email is sent as a reply to the original sender, ensuring that they receive immediate feedback on the report.
