### What Is ESG Reporting? How to Transform Data for a Brighter Tomorrow
](https://www.g2.com/articles/esg-reporting)
We’ve all seen companies claim they’re on board with “going green” or how important diversity and inclusion are when hiring. It’s hard for consumers and other stakeholders to know if these statements are true or simply performative, but environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting makes it easier.

[What is the most affordable sustainability management software for SMBs?](/discussions/what-is-the-most-affordable-sustainability-management-software-for-smbs)

Hi everyone, smaller businesses are increasingly expected to track sustainability metrics, but budgets and internal resources are limited. I’m trying to understand which [**sustainability management tools are realistic for SMBs**](https://www.g2.com/categories/sustainability-management) without requiring enterprise-level investment.

Some platforms I’m evaluating:

- [**Greenly**](https://www.g2.com/products/greenly/reviews) for SMB-friendly carbon tracking and reporting
- [**One Click LCA**](https://www.g2.com/products/one-click-lca/reviews) for accessible footprint calculations
- [**osapiens**](https://www.g2.com/products/osapiens/reviews) for sustainability and compliance workflows
- [**Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability**](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-cloud-for-sustainability/reviews) for smaller teams already using Microsoft tools
- [**ETQ Reliance QMS**](https://www.g2.com/products/etq-reliance-qms/reviews) for compliance-driven sustainability processes

For SMB teams:

- Which tools felt affordable without sacrificing essentials?
- How much setup effort was required?
- Did pricing stay predictable as reporting needs grew?

Have you encountered sustainability features locked behind higher priced plans?

Question on: Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)
["How do i update closed document using webservices?"](/discussions/etq-reliance-qms-how-do-i-update-closed-document-using-webservices)

1) We have to re-route closed document first to an open phase than we can update it in new web services. But in old web services (CommandManager) , we were able to update document. It is difficult sometime for some document to route back to open phase. 2) Some document is not allowing to re-open it due to revision control, how we can re-open those document? Is there any way? We have document like "Material Profile". It having three phase Draft, Approval and Approved. If any document is in Approved phase, we can not re-route that document using global function. 3) Sometimes when we create any document using REST web services and document data does not found in EtQ. Document created with Error, which is not valid. It should not be created as data is not correctly provided. Currently, we are managing this by our custom validation.

Hi Dipak, A completed document cannot be edited even with a web service call. The only way will be to route the document back to an editable phase, update it and route it back to the completed phase. This will ensure proper audit logging. For additional information or other support-related questions, please reach out to our support community.

Question on: Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)
[How does one get the system elements updated to include ISO 13485:2016 and EU MDR 2017/745?](/discussions/etq-reliance-qms-how-does-one-get-the-system-elements-updated-to-include-iso-13485-2016-and-eu-mdr-2017-745)

In building quality documents you have the field for selecting the system elements where you have ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2003, and others, however, ISO 13485 has been updated to version 2016 replacing 2003.

Hi Gary, great question. Those items are a keyword list maintained in the Administration Center. You would simply need to add additional items to the Master Keyword List for that field. A couple places where you can find additional resources: 1. In ETQ Campus, there is an Excel document with the ISO 13485:2016 version available to download from there. 2. In ETQ Academy, if you search “Keyword List” there is a short video on how to update a keyword list.
