Click Reports in the left sidebar. The Reports page shows two sections: a reporting readiness tracker at the top and a list of existing reports (in progress and finalised) below.

The readiness tracker compares the data in your current period against what's needed for a full report under each framework. It tells you, out of the total indicators required, how many you currently have data for. Use this as your gap analysis before clicking Create — closing gaps before generating produces a more complete first draft.

Click + Create a Report. A modal asks for two things:

• Framework — select GRI.
• Reporting period — set start and end dates. Common ranges: 1 January to 31 December for an annual report, but the builder accepts any period (year, quarter, month, week, or day).

Click Continue. The GRI report builder opens.

The builder is split into two sections:

• Required general disclosures. Always present for every GRI report — these are the GRI 2 General Disclosures 2021 (organisation profile, governance, strategy, policies, stakeholder engagement) plus GRI 3 (Material Topics 2021) — the methodology disclosures around how you identified material topics.
• Optional material topics. Add the GRI Topic Standards relevant to your material topics (e.g., GRI 302 Energy, GRI 303 Water and Effluents, GRI 305 Emissions, GRI 401 Employment, GRI 403 Occupational Health and Safety). The platform pre-suggests sector-typical topics from your onboarding configuration; you select which to include based on your materiality assessment.

Each disclosure in the builder is a field. Fields are one of two shapes:

• Narrative / rich-text fields. Manual entry. You type these directly — no auto-population (e.g., descriptions of governance bodies, policies, stakeholder engagement processes).
• Quantitative fields linked to indicators. Auto-fetched from the indicator data you've logged for the reporting period. For example, GRI 305-1 (direct emissions, Scope 1) pulls from your Scope 1 indicator.

For each auto-fetched quantitative field, you'll see the value populated with the source indicator named. If a field isn't auto-fetched (because no indicator is mapped or no data exists), you can:

• Manually enter the value directly into the field.
• Save the report as a draft and come back to it after logging the missing data.
• Leave the field empty and still generate the report — the gap will be flagged but won't block generation.

You don't need to complete the report in one session. Save a draft at any time and continue editing later.

Once enough fields are filled to be useful, click Preview. The report renders in the browser as it'll appear in the export — formatted, with section headings, disclosure codes, and your data inline. Use this to spot gaps and inconsistencies before exporting.

Drafts and in-progress reports stay in your Reports list and can be re-opened, edited, or deleted at any time.

When the report is ready, click Finalise. Finalising locks the report state for the period (any subsequent data changes won't auto-update the finalised version — by design, so the report you sent matches what you have on file).

Then export in your preferred format:

• PDF — formatted, presentation-ready.
• CSV — data-only, useful for downstream processing or for handing to assurance providers.

The exported report includes the disclosure index, methodology notes, and a content index mapping each disclosure to its source data — what assurance reviewers look for.
