1. Ask for the necessary data if not provided, specifying the format and scope.
2. Analyze the provided data to assess the company's environmental impact across key areas (energy, waste, water, emissions, supply chain).
3. Identify the most significant impact areas and prioritize them for improvement.
4. Recommend actionable strategies to reduce impact, including both quick wins and long-term initiatives.

Instructions

1. Ask for the necessary data if not provided, including the format and time period.
