This is distinct from `china-ets` (China's national carbon ETS compliance obligation): this skill is the LISTED COMPANY DISCLOSURE requirement, which applies whether or not the company is an ETS covered emitter. Also distinct from the Beijing Stock Exchange's own guideline, which is voluntary for every BSE listed company, not mandatory.

GRI Standards Report

Build a sustainability report in accordance with the GRI Standards (GRI 1 Foundation, GRI 2 General Disclosures, GRI 3 Material Topics, plus the relevant GRI Topic and Sector Standards), the world's most widely used voluntary sustainability reporting framework and the one several regulators point to when they have not written their own standard yet (e.g. the UAE SCA). Covers the newly effective GRI 101 Biodiversity and GRI 14 Mining Sector Standard (reporting periods starting 1 January 2026) and routes climate and energy disclosures toward GRI 102 and GRI 103 (published June 2025, effective for reporting from 1 January 2027), which GRI built for interoperability with ESRS via the GRI-ESRS Interoperability Index. Use this skill whenever the user mentions GRI, Global Reporting Initiative, GRI 1, GRI 2, GRI 3, GRI Universal Standards, GRI Sector Standards, GRI Topic Standards, "in accordance with GRI", "with reference to GRI", a GRI content index, or needs a sustainability report structure when no jurisdiction specific standard applies yet. Does not run a second, parallel double materiality engine: for impact materiality scoring it reuses this workspace's existing csrd-esrs assessment where one exists.

Calculate and report corporate greenhouse gas inventories in compliance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard (WRI/WBCSD). Use this skill whenever the user mentions GHG Protocol, corporate carbon footprint, Scope 1/2/3 emissions, carbon inventory, CDP disclosure, corporate emissions reporting, location-based vs market-based, operational control boundary, equity share approach, or needs to build an enterprise GHG emissions calculator. Also trigger when the user wants to prepare a CDP ORS upload, calculate Scope 3 across all 15 categories, look up emission factors from DEFRA/EPA/IEA/ Climatiq/China MEE, or generate a GHG inventory Excel workbook with YoY comparison.

LCA Screening

Perform a simplified (Tier 1) Life Cycle Assessment to calculate a cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint from Bill of Materials (BOM) data. Use this skill whenever the user mentions LCA, life cycle assessment, product carbon footprint, PCF, ISO 14067, ISO 14044, PEF, Product Environmental Footprint, Environmental Product Declaration, EPD, EN 15804, cradle-to-gate, cradle-to-grave, carbon hotspot analysis, embodied carbon, BOM carbon calculation, or needs to estimate the environmental impact of a product across its life cycle stages. Also trigger when the user wants to identify emission hotspots in a product system, generate EPD-format data, or screen materials for carbon intensity.

Calculate water footprints and assess water-related risks following ISO 14046 methodology. Use this skill whenever the user mentions water footprint, ISO 14046, blue water, green water, grey water footprint, water stress, water scarcity, WRI Aqueduct, water risk assessment, water balance, water withdrawal, water discharge, water consumption, water intensity, ESRS E3, CDP Water Security datapoints, product water footprint, organizational water footprint, or needs to quantify an entity's impact on freshwater resources. Also trigger when the user wants to calculate water stress indices by facility, generate CDP Water Security data, produce ESRS E3 disclosures, or build a water balance model for operations.

PCAF Financed Emissions

Calculate financed emissions for a bank, asset manager or insurer's lending and investment portfolio under the PCAF (Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials) Global GHG Accounting and Reporting Standard for the Financial Industry, Part A, third edition (December 2025), across ten asset classes (listed equity and corporate bonds, business loans and unlisted equity, project finance, commercial real estate, mortgages, motor vehicle loans, sovereign debt, sub-sovereign debt, use of proceeds structures, and securitizations and structured products). Use this skill whenever the user mentions PCAF, financed emissions, attribution factor, portfolio carbon footprint for a bank or fund, Scope 3 Category 15 (investments), data quality score for financed emissions, or needs to report the GHG emissions associated with a loan or investment book rather than the institution's own operations.

Send us a legal or compliance document and Formist reviews it for you. We read it line by line, mark it up with comments pointing out risks, unclear wording and compliance gaps, or go one step further and edit it directly, handing back a finished, fully-revised version. Works for contracts, agreements, policies, terms and sustainability / ESG disclosures. Use this when someone wants a legal or compliance review, a redline / markup, comments or annotations, proofreading, or to check a document against the rules — e.g. "review this contract", "redline this agreement", "mark up / add comments to this policy", "legal review", "compliance review", "check this against the regulation", contract risk review. 合规审查, 法律评估, 合规法律评估, 划线 / redline, 批注 / comment, 修改 / 修订, 审阅这份合同 / 文件 / 政策, 帮我审阅, 帮我 redline, 合同风险审查, ESG / 可持续发展披露的法律审查.

EU Battery Passport (DPP)

Build a battery's Digital Product Passport (DPP) data file under the EU Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, mandatory from 18 February 2027 for EV batteries, LMT (light means of transport, e.g. e-bike or e-scooter) batteries, and industrial batteries over 2 kWh. Structures the output on the EU-funded Battery Pass consortium's Data Attribute Longlist and Data Model (v2.0, August 2026) and cross-checks every field against the European Commission's own Guidance Document, data points by category, version 2.0, 15 August 2026 (Ares(2026)7968977), downloaded and read directly from the Commission's own site. Use this skill whenever the user mentions Digital Product Passport, DPP, ESPR, battery passport, Regulation 2023/1542, Annex XIII, EU battery regulation compliance, or needs to prepare battery life-cycle data for EU market access. Does not cover textiles or iron and steel DPPs (no EU-adopted data model exists for either as of this skill's last review) and does not calculate a battery's carbon footprint (that data point is itself excluded from the passport until a separate carbon-footprint act is adopted).

UAE Climate and Sustainability Reporting

Prepare the two mandatory UAE sustainability filings in one workflow: the Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas submission required under the UAE Federal Climate Change Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024) for MOCCAE's national climate change MRV system, and, for a local public joint stock company listed on ADX or DFM, the annual sustainability report required as part of the integrated report by the Capital Market Authority (CMA, formerly the Securities and Commodities Authority, SCA). Use this skill whenever the user mentions UAE climate law, Federal Decree-Law 11 of 2024, MOCCAE, UAE MRV, UAE carbon reporting, SCA or CMA sustainability report, ADX ESG, DFM ESG, Abu Dhabi or Dubai listed company disclosure, free zone emissions reporting, or needs to prepare a GHG inventory or sustainability report for a UAE-based or UAE-listed entity. Also trigger when the user is unsure whether their entity (onshore, free zone, government-related) falls under the mandatory reporting population, or wants the English/Arabic bilingual version of the CMA report.

UK SECR Reporting

Prepare the UK Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) disclosure for a UK quoted company, or a large unquoted company or LLP, for inclusion in the Directors' Report or a standalone Energy and Carbon Report. Use this skill whenever the user mentions SECR, Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting, UK energy and carbon report, Companies Act energy disclosure, low energy user exemption, or needs to determine whether their UK company meets the size thresholds (turnover, balance sheet, employees) that bring it into scope. Reuses the same Scope 1/2 calculation method and DEFRA/DESNZ conversion factor lookups the `ghg-protocol` skill already ships, repackaged into SECR's own required reporting shape. This skill does not cover EU CSRD/ESRS reporting, FCA TCFD aligned climate risk disclosure for premium listed companies, or voluntary GHG Protocol reporting beyond SECR's own required fields: point the user at the dedicated skill for those instead.

CBAM Declaration

Draft and validate a CBAM declaration package for EU importers filing under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (EU Regulation 2023/956). The EU has no submission API: this skill prepares and checks the package against the EU's own schema, and the user downloads it and uploads it themselves on the CBAM Registry portal. The transitional quarterly report period ended in 2025; the definitive period's annual declaration module is scheduled to open in 2027.

CBAM Installation

Calculate embedded emissions and CBAM certificate costs for goods imported into the EU under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (EU Regulation 2023/956). Use this skill whenever the user mentions CBAM, carbon border adjustment, embedded emissions, CBAM certificate, CBAM declaration, CBAM reporting, EU carbon border tax, or needs to calculate specific embedded emissions for cement, iron, steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity, or hydrogen imports into the EU. Also trigger when the user asks about precursor tracking, CBAM XML generation, CBAM Registry communication template, IR 2023/1773, IR 2025/2547, default values for CBAM, or carbon price deduction for China ETS / origin-country carbon pricing.

Bill of Lading Extraction

Extract every structured field from an uploaded Bill of Lading (B/L), Sea Waybill, or house/master B/L pair (photo, scan, PDF, Word, or Excel) into a standardized JSON record, structured to match the DCSA (Digital Container Shipping Association) Bill of Lading Standard 3.0's current published data model wherever the source document's content maps onto it. A Bill of Lading is a trade/shipping document (carrier receipt, evidence of the contract of carriage, and for a negotiable B/L, a document of title), NOT a regulatory filing: this skill extracts it as INPUT EVIDENCE for downstream filings (a CBAM declaration, a customs entry, a letter-of-credit check). It does not itself submit anything anywhere, and it does not validate dangerous-goods compliance. Use this skill whenever the user mentions Bill of Lading, B/L, Sea Waybill, house bill / master bill, parse my shipping documents, or needs shipment particulars (shipper, consignee, vessel/voyage, container, cargo description, weight) pulled out of a document into structured data.

IMO Shipping

Calculate and report maritime GHG emissions for international shipping compliance. Use this skill when the user mentions IMO, maritime emissions, shipping carbon, CII rating, EEXI, FuelEU Maritime, EU MRV, THETIS-MRV, DCS, IMO GISIS, ship carbon intensity, fleet decarbonization, alternative fuels for shipping, well-to-wake emissions, MEPC, tank-to-wake, wind-assisted propulsion, or needs to generate compliance reports for vessel emissions.

ISO 14083

Calculate and report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transport chain operations in compliance with ISO 14083:2023. Use this skill whenever the user mentions ISO 14083, logistics emissions, freight carbon footprint, transport chain GHG, GLEC Framework, CountEmissionsEU, Scope 3 transport emissions, WTT/TTW emissions, or needs to calculate CO₂e for shipping, trucking, rail, air freight, or multimodal supply chains. Also trigger when the user wants to fill the SFC CAS Emissions Report (ASU-TPL-011-2) template.

Shipment-Level Emissions (iLEAP)

Calculate and format per-shipment GHG emissions data following the iLEAP (Integrating Logistics Emissions and PCFs) Technical Specification, Smart Freight Centre / SINE Foundation's open, GitHub-published data model built on GLEC Framework v3.2 / ISO 14083:2023 foundations for exchanging SINGLE-SHIPMENT emissions data between logistics parties (shipper, forwarder, carrier). This is distinct from Formist's `iso14083` skill, which produces an annual/aggregate SFC CAS Emissions Report. This skill operates at the level of one shipment or one Transport Chain Element, the shape a freight forwarder's own shipment list or a customer's per-shipment Scope 3 request actually needs. Use this skill whenever the user gives you a list of individual shipments (origin, destination, weight, mode) and wants per-shipment emissions, mentions iLEAP, Transport Chain Element, PCF data exchange for logistics, or needs to answer a customer's per-shipment carbon footprint request rather than an annual inventory. It never calculates vessel-level CII, EEXI, or FuelEU Maritime compliance; route those to `imo-shipping`.
