Frequently asked questions
Which ESG framework should we use?
Most large organisations report against multiple frameworks. ISSB is becoming the global investor baseline, while GRI remains the standard for broad stakeholder sustainability reporting. SuggiCare exports map to all major frameworks.
How does corporate volunteering count toward ESG reporting?
Volunteering data feeds the social pillar across GRI 413 (local communities), SASB human capital metrics, ISSB social disclosures and TCFD-adjacent governance reporting. We tag every activity to the relevant standard.
Is volunteering data audit ready?
Yes. Every hour, dollar value and SDG mapping is timestamped, attributable to a verified user, and exportable as a board pack including the underlying data trail.
Can we map activity to UN SDGs?
Yes. Every program is tagged to one or more of the 17 SDGs, and dashboards show contribution by goal across your workforce.
