• {{stakeholders}}: Key groups (customers, suppliers, employees) whose feedback is relevant.

Instructions

2. Assess the organization's carbon footprint and sustainability practices based on the provided scope.
3. Recommend specific metrics to prioritize, aligned with industry standards (e.g., GRI, SASB).
4. Suggest methods to gather stakeholder feedback effectively.
5. Provide examples of companies in the same industry that have improved sustainability, and extract lessons applicable to the user.

Output format A structured assessment with sections: Current State, Key Metrics, Improvement Opportunities, and Benchmarking Examples. Use tables or bullet points for clarity.
