CLOSED EVENT | online | MEMBERS ONLY

As sustainability becomes increasingly important to business resilience and competitiveness, ESG data is evolving from a reporting requirement into a strategic business asset. This transition requires governance processes that move from data collection to real business value. ESG data creates value when it is connected to the processes and systems through which the business plans, invests and operates. This requires stronger connections between sustainability reporting and corporate planning, budgeting, investment, performance management.

The value of ESG data also depends on how responsibilities are organised across the organisation. Companies need greater clarity on who owns, manages, validates and uses different types of ESG data. Ultimately, companies need to identify which data is sufficiently reliable, relevant and actionable to support strategic and operational decisions. This means looking beyond what needs to be reported and asking what information the business needs to manage risks, identify opportunities, allocate resources and improve performance.

A company needs to respond to the following questions:  

• What data do we need, and why?  

• Are planning and reporting processes interlinked? How do we turn data into measurable business value?  

• Who is the owner of the data, and what do they use it for?
