ESG - Assign responsibilities per ESG data point

Background:
In ESG reporting, ensuring data ownership and accountability is critical for transparency, audit readiness, and ongoing data quality. Currently, responsibilities for specific ESG data points are not clearly assigned within the system, which can lead to confusion, delays, and inconsistent data submissions.

Proposed Idea:
Introduce a feature to assign responsible persons or roles to individual ESG data points (e.g., Scope 1 emissions, water consumption, diversity metrics).

Key Features:

• Assign a responsible user or role to each ESG KPI or data input field

• Display responsibility information directly in the planning or data collection interface

• Allow filtering and reporting by responsible person for follow-up and audit purposes

Benefits:

• Improves accountability and data governance

• Facilitates collaboration across departments (e.g., HR, Facility, Finance)

• Reduces risk of missing or delayed data

• Supports audit trails by documenting who provided or validated each data point
