# Understanding Your ESG Assessment Report

After completing the ESG Pathway assessment, your organisation receives a structured report generated by the ADS Assessor Platform. This report captures your current ESG maturity, highlights strengths and gaps, and offers a clear roadmap for improvement.

This page explains the key elements of the report and how to make the most of it.

## What To Do With Your Report

* **Share internally**\
  Use the maturity level and improvement plan in board meetings, ESG working groups, or department planning.
* **Inform policy and action**\
  The insights can help shape your ESG strategy, identify compliance gaps, or define project priorities.
* **Communicate with stakeholders**\
  Your results can support sustainability updates, supplier documentation, or progress tracking against internal goals.
* **Use as a baseline**\
  Track how your maturity changes over time by completing the assessment again after actions are implemented.

## 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/scoring-and-reporting/understanding-your-esg-assessment-report.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.
