Sustainability Audit — ESG/Sustainability Audit Full Pipeline

Workflow

Phase 1: Preparation (Performed Directly by Orchestrator)

1. Extract from user input:
   • Company Information: Company name, industry, size (revenue/headcount), listing status
   • Audit Scope (optional): Full E/S/G or specific pillars
   • Existing Materials (optional): Annual reports, existing ESG reports, emissions data
   • Objectives (optional): ESG rating target, regulatory compliance, investor requirements
   • Constraints (optional): Timeline, budget, specified reporting framework
2. Create the _workspace/ directory at the project root
3. Organize the input and save it as _workspace/00_input.md
4. If existing files are provided, copy them to _workspace/ and use as reference materials
5. Determine the execution mode based on the scope of the request

Phase 2: Team Assembly and Execution

Tasks 1a, 1b, and 1c (E/S/G assessments) run in parallel. The three pillars can be assessed independently.

Inter-Agent Communication Flow:

• E/S/G analysts mutually: Cross-share inter-pillar issues (environmental -> social impact, governance -> environmental policies)
• E/S/G complete -> deliver pillar data and ratings to reporter
• E/S/G complete -> deliver weaknesses, risks, and improvement opportunities to planner
• reporter completes -> deliver report targets/commitments to planner
• orchestrator cross-validates overall consistency

Phase 3: Integration and Final Deliverables

1. Verify consistency across all files in _workspace/
2. Detect discrepancies across E/S/G assessments, report, and improvement plan
3. Generate the cross-validation report
4. Report the final summary to the user

Execution Modes by Scope

Using Existing Files: When the user provides existing ESG reports, annual reports, etc., use them as reference materials to improve accuracy.

Error Handling

Test Scenarios

Normal Flow

Prompt: "Run an ESG audit for our company (manufacturing, 500 employees, $100M revenue). Also write a GRI-based report." Expected Results:

• Environmental: Manufacturing-specific Scope 1/2 emission estimates, waste/water quality assessment
• Social: Serious accident law compliance, accident rates, DEI metrics
• Governance: Board structure, compliance, internal controls
• Report: GRI Standards-based integrated report, materiality assessment
• Improvement: Prioritized 3-year roadmap

Partial Audit Flow

Prompt: "Calculate our carbon emissions and create a reduction roadmap" Expected Results:

• Deploy environmental + planner
• Scope 1/2/3 emissions calculation
• Reduction target setting (SBTi-based) + reduction roadmap

Error Flow

Prompt: "Write an ESG report, but I don't have any data" Expected Results:

• Write an "estimate-based ESG report" using industry average data
• Attach "Estimate" labels to all data
• Provide a separate data request list for actual data collection
