Eliminating the 'Editing Hell' of ESG Report Production: estoma Releases 'Viewer Feature' for Direct Correction Requests on PDFs and Web Pages

株式会社estoma (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Soichiro Ito), provider of the ESG information integrated management cloud, has officially announced the release of its new 'viewer feature' to dramatically streamline corporate ESG disclosure and report production. This feature allows users to initiate correction tasks directly from the screens of sustainability reports, integrated reports, and company websites, centralizing internal review and progress management.

### Development Background: The Analog Burden of 'Report Production and Correction'

In corporate ESG disclosure, a significant portion of work involves responding to assessment agencies. Ultimately, the information generated internally must be disclosed through channels like corporate websites and integrated reports. For corporate staff, these disclosure tasks are as burdensome as responding to the assessment agencies themselves.

Integrated reports and sustainability reports often span hundreds of pages. Involving multiple departments, traditional workflows have long been plagued by significant burdens and risks.

estoma developed the 'viewer feature' to digitize these analog tasks in ESG operations, aiming for an environment where disclosure quality can be enhanced intuitively and securely.

### Four Core Values of the 'Viewer Feature'

1. Direct 'Task Initiation and Circulation' from Web Pages and PDFs Users can load sustainability websites or draft report PDFs directly into the system, and initiate tasks simply by clicking or selecting the text or images they wish to correct. It supports workflow management such as staff assignment and progress status tracking.

2. Visualization of Major ESG Assessment Agency (FTSE, SSBJ, etc.) Standards AI enables the visualization of which parts of a company report correspond to specific disclosure criteria. It seamlessly assists in creating and reflecting accurate improvements based on the perspectives of assessment agencies, supporting efficient score improvement.

3. 'Past Version Comparison' for Smoother Checks Users can easily compare past versions with the latest one. The system automatically compares text, images, layout, and pixel-level differences, color-coding results into 'Same as previous,' 'Minor differences,' or 'Major changes.'

4. 100% Tracking of Change Logs to Strengthen Governance All operations, including tasks, comments, and status changes, are tracked 100%. This provides robust support for internal controls and information security.
