Samjong KPMG said on the 27th that it has introduced the ESG Reporting Assistant, which uses Generative AI.
Developed in-house by the Samjong KPMG ESG Business Group, the ESG Reporting Assistant systematically compares and analyzes ESG disclosure examples by corporations and industry. It also provides Q&A from ESG experts' perspectives and supports the entire process of preparing sustainability reports.
Applying the solution to ESG advisory in practice, repetitive and time-consuming ESG disclosure and report drafting work has been automated and advanced, allowing consultants to focus more on strategic advisory, according to Samjong KPMG. Through this introduction, Samjong KPMG said it has improved both the productivity and service quality of ESG advisory and sees it as a turning point to embed AI across ESG consulting.
The ESG Reporting Assistant builds a knowledge base from sustainability reports across diverse industries at home and abroad, and based on this, provides case-centered comparisons and analyses of ESG-related content for specific corporations and industries.
In the report drafting process, it quickly analyzes cases of other corporations in the same industry to draw practical implications, and it provides answers to questions about ESG standards and disclosures with clear sources so that users can check the original text immediately without separate searches.
In particular, through functions for drafting sustainability report templates and refining language tailored to corporate characteristics, it has significantly reduced the time required for drafting and reviewing reports. It also includes an automatic English translation feature.
To enhance the completeness of the ESG Reporting Assistant, dozens of experts from ESG CoE, an ESG specialist organization, participated in core tasks such as metadata labeling during development. In addition, the technical capabilities of Lighthouse, Samjong KPMG's AI development organization, were combined to strengthen accuracy and reliability.
Kim Jin-gui, head of consulting at Samjong KPMG, said, "Along with multilingual report analysis, we will gradually introduce a gap analysis function that compares and analyzes corporations' ESG levels with major global ESG standards such as the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and we plan to continuously strengthen the competitiveness of our ESG advisory."
Meanwhile, Samjong KPMG is rapidly rolling out various AI-based solutions, including the ESG Reporting Assistant, the audit automation solution AuditSay+, the Smart Reporting Solution (SRS), KPMG Tax Assistant 2.0, DealMind, Samjong AI Chat, and the Smart Information Security Solution.
