You can now configure Diligent ESG to integrate with Boards so that Boards users can view their own greenhouse gas (GHG) emission data in the Diligent One Platform section. Boards users who have a Board & Leadership Collaboration package as well as a subscription with Diligent ESG can view the following data in the report:

  • GHG emissions by scope
  • Emissions by source category, site, country, and location

Before you can configure the Diligent ESG to Boards reporting integration, you must complete the following tasks:

  1. Create a HighBond API token. For further information, go to Creating and managing HighBond access tokens.
  2. In the Diligent One Results app, add a collection or select an existing collection. For further information, go to Working with collections.
  3. Add an analysis to a collection or select an existing analysis. For further information, go to Working with analyses.
  4. Create a data analytic table to save data from Diligent ESG. For further information, go to Working with tables.
    Note: Do not upload records to the table after you create the table. Skip this step.
  5. Assign a user with the role of ESGBoardsIntegrationAdministrator. A company admin can assign only one user with the ESGBoardsIntegrationAdministrator role in the account. For further information about assigning this role, go to Creating a new user?
         Note: This role is only available for accounts who have subscribed to the ESG Board Reporting package.


Important: Only the user that has been assigned with the ESGBoardsIntegrationAdministrator role can configure the integration. 

  1. To configure the Diligent ESG to Boards reporting integration, select the Settings icon and select Manage Settings.
  2. Select the Application Settings tab.
  3. In the Configure Diligent One Platform integration section, select Edit.
  4. Select the Enable Diligent One integration for Company checkbox.
  5. In the Integration User dropdown, select the user to be the ESG Boards integration administrator.
  6. In the Diligent One target region dropdown, select the region where the company’s Diligent One registration is based.
  7. In the Results Table ID field, enter the ID to connect to Results table. You can find this ID in the Tables tab of your Diligent One collection.
    Note: For security reasons, the ID that you enter is encrypted and hidden from view.
  8. In the HighBond API Key field, enter the API key to connect with the Diligent One integration.
  9. Select Save.

After you configure the integration, a user with the Admin role in the Results app publishes the data to Activity Center. For further information, go to Publish the Results app data to the Activity Center app.

Note: You need to wait until after midnight (UTC) for the data to update in the Activity Center dashboard.

After this you can use your data in Activity Center. For further information, go to Managing dashboards in the Activity Center app.
