FAQS
Frequently asked questions.
What does the ESG Agent review?
The Agent reviews vendor submissions across key environmental, social and governance areas:
- Environmental performance: Carbon footprint, waste, renewable energy and supply chain sustainability.
- Labour practices: Working conditions, compensation, health and safety, and regulatory compliance.
- Diversity and inclusion: Leadership, workforce and equal opportunity practices.
- Governance: Governance structures, ethics programmes and reporting transparency.
- Community and human rights: Community engagement, social investment and human rights due diligence.
What are the configuration options?
Configure the Agent around your organisation’s sustainability goals and ESG requirements, including:
- Weighting across environmental, social and governance dimensions.
- Industry-specific assessment criteria.
- Scoring scales and benchmarks.
- Priorities for flagging ESG gaps.
- ESG certifications to recognise.
- Sustainability reporting standards to assess.
The Agent then applies your configured criteria consistently across vendor assessments.
Can we customise the sustainability criteria?
Yes. You define the criteria the Agent uses to assess vendor ESG performance.
This includes weighting different ESG dimensions, setting industry-specific requirements, defining scoring benchmarks and choosing which certifications and reporting standards to recognise.
Does the Agent make ESG decisions automatically?
No. The Agent assesses vendor submissions against your defined ESG criteria, but your team retains oversight and control of vendor decisions.
- ESG gaps and areas of concern are flagged for review.
- Scores and recommendations are supported by documented evidence.
- Your team reviews the findings and determines any action required.
- Final vendor decisions remain with your organisation.
How does Agent automation compare with a manual process?
Without Agent automation, teams manually review ESG submissions against sustainability criteria.
- Each response requires manual assessment.
- ESG gaps can be difficult to identify consistently.
- Scoring can vary between reviewers.
With Agent automation, ESG submissions are evaluated automatically against your defined criteria.
- Responses are scored against your ESG requirements.
- Gaps and missing information are flagged immediately.
- Every assessment follows the same criteria and is documented.
Is there an audit trail?
Every Agent action is recorded in Gatekeeper with a timestamp, including the criteria applied, decision made, supporting evidence and reasoning where applicable.
This creates a searchable record of how each outcome was reached, supporting compliance verification, internal review and audit requirements.
How is my data kept secure and compliant?
Your data stays within Gatekeeper while the Agent performs its work. Actions, decisions and supporting evidence are logged, creating a clear audit trail.
The Agent operates within the permissions, playbooks and authority controls you configure.
Data handling follows Gatekeeper’s enterprise security standards, including SOC 2 Type II compliance and GDPR requirements.
