Implementing Workiva’s Sustainability Program and CSRD module with a data lake connection
Project overview and objectives
A global tire manufacturer needed a comprehensive solution to track, report, and publish both voluntary and regulatory sustainability disclosures in compliance with The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
They wanted to:
- Maximize Workiva’s capabilities by integrating with Snowflake to dynamically pull key performance indicator (KPI) values and use assurance readiness features.
- Centralize results from the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) and Gap Assessment within Workiva, including a next-year DMA refresh, to streamline data management.
- Integrate sustainability processes with multiple source systems and providers to improve efficiency and consistency.
What we did
We helped implement the Workiva CSRD module, including tailored assessments, stakeholder mapping, and impact and financial materiality scoring. We also:
- Deployed the Workiva Gap Assessment solution to identify reporting gaps, track remediation actions, and provide ongoing dashboard reporting.
- Built a comprehensive Workiva Sustainability Program that:
- Consolidated KPIs across frameworks.
- Established standardized data collection workflows.
- Mapped Factbook performance tables to voluntary and regulatory disclosure reports.
Impact
- Standardized and automated sustainability reporting across six major frameworks using a consolidated data model.
- Established a robust quarterly data collection workflow that supports 200+ providers and approvers at both consolidated and entity levels.
- Positioned compliance with CSRD and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) requirements while creating a scalable program for voluntary reporting across global operations.
