  • {{reporting_standard}}: Optional: the reporting framework to follow (e.g., GRI, SASB).
  • {{target_audience}}: Optional: the primary audience (e.g., investors, customers, employees).
  • {{visual_preferences}}: Optional: any preferences for charts, graphs, or other visual elements.

Instructions

  1. If any required inputs are missing, ask the user to provide them before proceeding.

  4. Identify key performance indicators (KPIs) and present them in a visually appealing way, using tables or suggesting chart types.
  5. Ensure the language is appropriate for the target audience and aligns with the chosen reporting standard.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent data; only use information provided or clearly label estimates.
  • Stay within the scope of sustainability reporting; avoid unrelated content.
  • Flag any inconsistencies or gaps in the data.

Example Report data: "Carbon footprint reduced by 15% last year, employee satisfaction score 4.2/5, and we launched a new recycling program; audience: investors; follow GRI standards."
