This article is for:
- Sustainability Reporting Advanced workspaces with Workiva AI enabled
Note: Workiva AI is available for any customer who signs the Workiva AI Terms of Use. Once signed and approved, Workiva AI is enabled for the organization — and all of its workspaces and users — by default. Org Admins can manage its enablement as needed, such as to restrict Workiva AI to only specific workspaces and users, or to disable it for the entire organization.
When enabled for your workspace, Workiva AI can assist as you prepare sustainability reports using the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Sustainability Disclosure Standards issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). For example, Workiva AI can help:
- Summarize disclosure requirements with easy-to-digest synopses
- Identify disclosures related to existing data or content
- Generate first drafts of — and iterate on — narrative responses based on collected values
Note: Workiva AI responses are provided for general information purposes only and do not — and are not intended to — constitute legal, accounting, tax, investment, compliance, or other professional advice and services. Responses contain AI-generated content and are provided "as is"; no representations are made that the content is error-free or up-to-date. To learn more, view the Workiva AI Terms of Use.
Summarize requirements with ISSB Intelligence
As you prepare to report using the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, you can use Workiva AI and its ISSB Intelligence knowledge base to help summarize the Standards and their disclosure requirements with easy-to-digest synopses.
Tip: For the best results with ISSB Intelligence, use the Amazon® Web Services (AWS) Anthropic® Large Language Model (LLM) as your Workiva AI provider.

Draft responses with Sustainability Disclosure Agent
As you create your sustainability report, you can use Sustainability Disclosure Agent to help draft content to meet the requirements of IFRS SDS, such as a narrative that includes values from Sustainability Program. With Sustainability Disclosure Agent, Workiva AI provides:
- Compliance scorecard, to assess whether draft content complies with specific disclosure requirements
- Action items to help resolve any gaps, such as to identify missing data or context
- Disclosure narrative, to help refine the draft content to best meet the specified requirements
Note: Workspace members need the Sustainability reporting role to use Sustainability Disclosure Agent.
To use Sustainability Disclosure Agent for IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards:
- In the Document, select the content to assess or revise, then click Workiva AI .
- In Quick edits, select Draft disclosure.
- From Sustainability Disclosure Agent, select IFRS SDS in Framework.
-
Select the disclosure requirements to respond to, then click Create disclosure.
Tip: To help find a disclosure requirement, click Suggest disclosure, then select the applicable requirements.
-
Review the response, and prompt Workiva AI to make any necessary adjustments.
Note: If the Compliance scorecard identifies missing information or requirements, edit the Document as necessary based on the Action items, then select the revised content and Draft disclosure again.
- When the Disclosure narrative meets the selected requirements, click Copy, then paste it where needed in the Document.
- Edit the narrative as necessary within the Document.
Note: To prompt Workiva AI for something else — without Sustainability Disclosure Agent — click Back or select Clear chat from the menu.
