Workiva documents sustainability metrics, collection spreadsheets and linked reporting outputs. Workiva Carbon adds a named emissions-management scope. Build the proposal around required workspaces, roles, applications and the handoff from source data to approved disclosure.
Built from vendor sources checked ; AI-assisted drafting. Documentation review, not a hands-on test. How pages are made
Reporting teams coordinating sustainability contributors and disclosure reviewers. Confirm Carbon, Wdata, workspace permissions and interfaces in the proposal; a platform connection is not an all-inclusive licence.
Workiva may justify a scoped quote when source-linked disclosure preparation and coordinated review address a demonstrated reporting problem. It is less suitable for a simple inventory-only requirement if the workspace, application and implementation scope adds cost without needed controls.
Watch for: No verified public subscription amount. Cross-workspace use needs role and Wdata scoping.

This profile covers Workiva sustainability reporting and the separately named Workiva Carbon offering.
| Capability | Evidence | Scope and source |
|---|---|---|
| Metric collection | Documented by vendor | Collect defined values through Program, linked source files or contributor tasks. Metric configuration and supporting evidence |
| Evidence requirements | Depends on scope | Metric configuration can require notes or attachments before completing a value. Configure these requirements for the relevant metric. Metric configuration and supporting evidence |
| Approval and return | Documented by vendor | Approvers can accept or return prepared values. Any approver in a shared approval step can complete that step; use separate steps for required successive approvals. Metric preparation and approval |
| Source-linked reporting | Documented by vendor | Collection and Factbook workflows connect metric values with disclosure preparation; demonstrate the refresh process after a correction. Sustainability reporting workflow |
| Cross-workspace sharing | Depends on scope | Query-based sharing requires Wdata in the receiving workspace and appropriate owner and query roles. Cross-workspace data sharing |
| Carbon management | Depends on scope | Workiva Carbon is a named offering; specify purchased scope rather than assuming it is included in every reporting licence. Workiva Carbon |
| Sustainability API | Depends on scope | Technical documentation covers programs and metric values with OAuth credentials and operation-specific scopes. Confirm commercial entitlement, supported endpoints and implementation separately. Sustainability API prerequisites and operations |
| Periodic and dimensional metric values | Depends on scope | A metric can collect annual or multiple values by period and dimensions such as location or demographic. Confirm dimensional model, limits and source-file design. Metric values, dimensions and collection routes |
| Collection status and reminders | Documented by vendor | Views expose task states from not sent through returned and complete, with due-date and manual reminders. Assignments are for workspace members; do not infer an unrestricted supplier portal. Metric task status and reminders |
| Framework-content alignment | Depends on scope | Metrics can link to disclosures or requirements in Sustainability Explorer, including archived-reference visibility. Confirm enabled frameworks and versions; custom tags are not maintained framework content. Metric alignment to Sustainability Explorer disclosures |
| Controlled metric restatements | Depends on scope | A Data Collection spreadsheet may record revised values, variance, notes and attachments while retaining the disclosed value and feeding Factbook on refresh. If absent, it must be requested from the CSM. Restatement tracking and Factbook audit trail |
Scoped proposal; unlimited seats
No amount appeared on the pricing page on 26 September 2026. Its FAQ says pricing reflects each organization's needs, some solutions use good/better/best packaging, and all offerings provide unlimited seats or users; purchases go through a sales representative. Itemise the sustainability solutions (Workiva Carbon must be expressly scoped), implementation, interfaces, support and renewal terms, in a named currency and billing term.
Pricing sources checked : Selected sources checked; no starting price recorded. All seven selected product, workflow and developer sources were accessible.
Sustainability Explorer, Sustainability Program, Data Collection and Factbook workflows; Workiva Carbon must be expressly scoped.
Ask the vendor to identify the product, region, modules, billing unit, contract term and included services in writing.
Test interrupted work and recovery for the intended workflow.
No universal inclusion was established. Specify Carbon and the reporting applications in the proposal.
The help article says any approver in a shared step can complete it. Configure separate successive steps when multiple distinct approvals are required.
That was not established. The reviewed workflow assigns workspace members; confirm external supplier onboarding, permissions and licensing separately.
No. It explains authentication, scopes and operations, not the commercial entitlement or a completed connector. Confirm supported endpoints and licence terms.
Query-based sharing has Wdata and role requirements. Demonstrate the actual receiving workspace and permitted data before relying on the handoff.
No. Your team must evaluate source quality, approvals, reporting requirements and final outputs; software documentation is not an assurance opinion.
