Companies have moved beyond profit and towards sustainability initiatives. The advent of the Environment, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) umbrella movement has converged the alphabet soup of sustainability initiatives into a common framework to achieve the UN sustainable development goals (SDG). A trifecta of factors is at play:

1. more firms are developing ESG-centric business strategies;
2. new EU regulations on ESG reporting;
3. financial markets tying ESG scores to cost of capital.

These three forces make it imperative to commit changing the status quo on your data strategy. A data strategy is aligned with your business strategy and helps to define how you could use data to achieve your business goals. In the ESG context, a data strategy will enable organisations to measure whether organisations reach their sustainable development goals.

Join us for this webinar to explore how you can power your ESG ambitions through data strategy.
