SEE impacts provides one-click compliance reports based on your impact assessments.

You can generate your desired compliance reports for each bottom line in PDF from the left-side menu pane in the unit folder or the corporate report view.

The different types of PDF reports

When clicking the 'generate PDF' button in the menu, you can choose between:

• Internal report
• External report
• Include non-final

The internal report

This report type is intended for internal use only and is watermarked throughout with the label 'INTERNAL'. At the bottom of the report cover page is 'FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY' in red.

This is because this report type contains all information in your impact assessments, including any internal notes, omitted impacts, and names and titles of responsible persons.

The external report

This report type will be your official compliance documentation for any external stakeholders.

It excludes any internal notes and omitted impacts. Names and/or titles of responsible persons are hidden if this is selected in the unit settings.

The non-final report

This report type includes your unfinished assessments and is intended only for internal use to preview how your assessment will appear once completed. This report is watermarked and labelled similarly to the internal report.

Machine-validation

All report types are machine-validated by SEE impacts and will contain notes regarding content that is not compliant with the standard. Green notes are used to inform readers about any information that is absent with due reason. In contrast red notes indicate that information is missing, although required.

Follow-up dates are mandatory. Otherwise the assessment does not comply with a set follow-up scheme of regular operational-level impact assessments, as the standard requires.

If an impact assessment is not followed up on prior to its expiry date, the assessment will remain in the report, but a red note next to the follow-up date will indicate that it is past due to follow-up.

Automated introduction and summary

Each report begins with an automated introduction describing the methodology used for conducting sustainability due diligence and a summarized result of the impact assessments contained in the report.

This introduction ensures that the reader can understand the relevance and purpose of the report and get an overview of your findings without having to read through every detail.

Interactive navigation

The digital PDF report has an interactive table of contents so the reader can click on each headline to navigate its content. From the headline above the content the reader can click the top arrow to navigate back to where they were in the table of contents. Of course, this is only possible when the PDF is viewed digitally and not in print.

Adding your logo to the cover page

To include your logo on the cover page, account admins can upload the appropriate logo file to the account in account management. This automatically inserts the logo in all generated compliance reports. The cover page also contains the name of the account and/or unit and the location. If the account only has one unit, the account name is used. If the account has multiple units, the account name is shown along with the unit that the report is for.
