How to perform the GAP analysis
Luckily, not all datapoints are relevant (material) to your organisation. So first, it is essential to identify which datapoints should be included in your report. Based on which topics are material, Ecocharting automatically shows you which datapoints should be included in your CSRD report.
Now, the GAP analysis can be performed. You can verify which information is already available and what data should still be gathered. This ranges from certain KPI’s such as the number of employees, to extensive documents such as policies & action plans.
