# ESG Templates and Toolkits

The ESG Pillar is supported by a growing library of practical templates and tools. These resources are designed to help you move from **assessment to action**, whether you're preparing your first response or planning strategic improvements.

This section will expand as the framework matures. For now, it includes two core resources to get you started:

## Available Templates (Initial Release)

* **Excel version of the ESG Pathway Assessment** — for internal scoping, workshops, or offline review

{% file src="/files/OPM0bwdL0PN2JPCCIRDs" %}

* **Overview of the ESG Programme Framework** — to help you understand structure, levels, and themes

{% file src="/files/HgiNJt4OrYwmexNg9tuW" %}

***

## Tips for Use

* Begin with the templates most relevant to your **current maturity level**
* Customise tools to fit your structure, language, and terminology
* Use them in **internal workshops** or **self-led planning sessions** to build engagement

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.adsgroup.org.uk/8RnoQ2Y1ZgHQnhYYpqoO/esg-pillar/best-practice-and-resources/esg-templates-and-toolkits.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
