Adding New Riskonnect ESG Products

Adding new Riskonnect ESG Products into the network can be done using the Riskonnect Product Search page. We ask that you first search for the product to see if it exists, and if it does, you can connect to it; otherwise, you can create a new product.

To search for an ESG Product:

1. Log in to the Riskonnect ESG application and go to the Riskonnect Products tab.
   
2. Click New.
   
3. Search for and select a trading partner that could be connected to the product in the ESG Network.
   You can leave the product description field blank for your search as this will show you all publicly exposed products that your selected trading partner has made available to connect to.
4. Click Search.
   If there are matching results in the ESG Network, those results are displayed below the search criteria.

To connect with an existing ESG Product:

1. In the search results section, click Connect to Product for the product you want to connect with. You will be asked to enter in your private ESG Product Relationship information.
