How to master ESG data reporting and management

Many sectors are feeling the pressure of increasing ESG data management demands — and financial services especially. Many challenges exist: unclear ESG data, not optimized reporting frameworks, and difficulties in sharing ESG data.

Ultimately, the objective of your ESG data management is to offer the best reporting and insights you can. To regulators, customers, and supply chain partners alike. Here, look at how smart, effective tooling can support these efforts.

Key considerations for mastering ESG data reporting and management

• Enable continuous ESG data management
• Standardize ESG reporting frameworks for usable outcomes
• Ensure ESG data and analytics are recent, relevant, correct, and complete
• Configure ESG data management once, fine-tune continuously
