description

Full audit pipeline for ESG/sustainability where an agent team collaborates to generate environmental, social, and governance assessments along with an integrated report and improvement plan. Use this skill for requests such as 'run an ESG audit', 'write a sustainability report', 'ESG assessment', 'carbon emissions calculation', 'ESG rating diagnosis', 'governance review', 'social responsibility assessment', 'GRI report', 'TCFD disclosure', 'ESG improvement plan', and other ESG/sustainability tasks. Also supports assessment of specific pillars (E/S/G) only or improving existing reports. However, actual on-site audit execution, third-party verification certificate issuance, ESG rating agency score changes, and carbon credit trading are outside the scope of this skill.

Sustainability Audit — ESG/Sustainability Audit Full Pipeline

An agent team collaborates to generate environmental, social, and governance assessments along with an integrated report and improvement plan.

Execution Mode

Agent Team — 5 members communicate directly via SendMessage and cross-validate each other's work.

Agent Roster

Agent	File	Role	Type
environmental-analyst	.claude/agents/environmental-analyst.md	Carbon emissions, energy, waste, water resources	general-purpose
social-assessor	.claude/agents/social-assessor.md	Labor, human rights, DEI, supply chain	general-purpose
governance-reviewer	.claude/agents/governance-reviewer.md	Board, ethics, compliance	general-purpose
esg-reporter	.claude/agents/esg-reporter.md	GRI/SASB/TCFD report writing	general-purpose
improvement-planner	.claude/agents/improvement-planner.md	Improvement roadmap, KPIs, investment plan	general-purpose

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

Order	Task	Owner	Dependencies	Deliverable
1a	Environmental Assessment	environmental	None	_workspace/01_environmental_assessment.md
1b	Social Assessment	social	None	_workspace/02_social_assessment.md
1c	Governance Assessment	governance	None	_workspace/03_governance_assessment.md
2	Integrated Report	reporter	Tasks 1a, 1b, 1c	_workspace/04_esg_report.md
3	Improvement Plan	planner	Tasks 1a, 1b, 1c, 2	_workspace/05_improvement_plan.md
4	Cross-Validation	orchestrator	All	_workspace/06_review_report.md

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

User Request Pattern	Execution Mode	Agents Deployed
"Run an ESG audit", "Sustainability report"	Full Audit	All 5 agents
"Just calculate carbon emissions"	Environmental Only	environmental only
"Just review governance"	Governance Only	governance only
"Create an ESG improvement plan" + existing report	Improvement Mode	planner only
"Convert this report to GRI format"	Report Mode	reporter only
"Just review environmental and social"	Partial Audit	relevant pillars + reporter

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

Data Transfer Protocol

Strategy	Method	Purpose
File-Based	_workspace/ directory	Store and share main deliverables
Message-Based	SendMessage	Cross-pillar issue sharing, correction requests
Task-Based	TaskCreate/TaskUpdate	Progress tracking, dependency management

File naming convention: {order}_{deliverable}.{extension}

Error Handling

Error Type	Strategy
Company data unavailable	Estimate using industry averages, attach "Estimate" label
Web search failure	Work with general ESG standards, note "Data limitations"
Industry-specific standards unknown	Search based on SASB industry classification, apply general standards if unavailable
Agent failure	Retry once -> if still fails, proceed with that pillar omitted
E/S/G inconsistency	Detected in cross-validation -> request corrections from relevant agent (up to 2 rounds)

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
