ESG Data – Strategy and Practice for Management
- Environmental, Social & Corporate Governance
- Innovation & Business Improvement
This programme is conducted online.
1 day
Who Should Attend
All professionals involved in ESG data management
Overview
In October 2021, the World Economic Forum revealed that managing data is the number one ESG challenge organisations face. This is magnified by a study conducted by the think tank OCEG (Open Compliance and Ethics Group), noting that over 60% of organisations lacked the capabilities to collect, analyse, and report ESG data, and only 10% were prepared.
The challenge is particularly difficult for organisations whose legacy data management and digital transformation roadmaps are already experiencing difficulties. Despite this, soldiering through this is not just a requirement of regulators, investors, or reputational damage - it's necessary to attract and retain the already scarce data talents that are aware of the impact that data has on society and decision processes.
Adding to this is the growing number of third-party data providers and ESG rating agencies offering their services without any homogeneous standardisation in sight. Missing data, inconsistent data or data quality adds to the burden of the Chief Data Officer in charge and can cripple supporting sustainability teams that are already grappling with multiple taxonomies and frameworks.
Bridging the great divide between the talk and action, accelerating the Sustainable Development agenda from intention to implementation – GoImpact means Impact made easy and actionable.
GoImpact is an ecosystem developed to connect the dots and provide action enablers built around 3 key pillars – GoLearn (education); GoNetwork (structured advocacy); GoInvest (deal flow platform for sustainable investments). Through our partners network with online-to-offline initiatives, we connect investors with deals relevant to their interests and provide learning opportunities to drive real change by example for everyone who is keen to understand more about the Sustainable Finance agenda.
