The flowchart depicts a five-step workflow for analyzing sustainability reports. The process begins with pre-processing and embedding, where reports are segmented into smaller passages and vector embeddings are generated. This is followed by iterative querying, where standardized prompts are used. The retrieval step involves inputting queries and retrieving relevant passages. In the generation step, output is synthesized from the retrieved passages using Q&A prompts for evidence-based answers and rating prompts for evaluating the GRI principle. The final output step produces two answers for each report based on the two prompts.RAG workflow for GRI-oriented sustainability report analysis. Source: Created by the authors
