Collaborase
What is Collaborase?
Collaborase, a Catalyst for Collaboration, supporting interactive and inclusive standard setting activities. It is an online platform powered by Interactive Leader. CDSB is using Collaborase to facilitate, develop, engage others and continually improve it’s work. Development and management of CDSB’s work through Collaborase means CDSB will have a centralized and accessible, transparent, fully auditable and interactive process for developing and managing its work and will minimize the need for extensive email and word document exchanges on drafting and work management. In addition, as a dynamic online platform, the work becomes ‘living documents’ enabling continuous development and sharing of content, and thereby building a valuable network.
How is CDSB using Collaborase?
CDSB has its own workspace on Collaborase kindly supported by Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Grant Thornton, KPMG and PwC. CDSB is using Collaborase to:
- develop the CDSB Climate Change Reporting Framework – the full Climate Change Reporting Framework is online, including section by section requirements, guidance, references and supporting rationale for technical and process-related issues so that users better understand the why and how the CCRF has developed. Users can also provide comments related to usage of the CCRF as well as offer recommendations for improvements. Users can also ask questions and engage in online forums;
- develop Climate Change Reporting Language – an online workspace for the global development of eXtensible business reporting language (XBRL) carbon taxonomy;
- provide resources to help CDSB members, partners and regulators; and
- provide an efficient and accountable approach to managing CDSB’s work and development plans.
