The majority of ESG data has been collected over the past decade without consistency, comparable metrics, integration into reporting or supply chain data. US and European regulators are tightening up ESG disclosure standards with a move towards stricter compliance and enforcement procedures. ESG monitoring and reporting will be required to be incorporated into corporate strategy to meet carbon reduction targets and avoid greenwashing. 

As with many aspects of business, rapid digitalisation has transformed the way companies are operating and will be a crucial part of defining more accountable and clear disclosure standards and procedures. Information must be clear for all stakeholders, with divestment and penalties looming as an outcome of inability to comply with standards. Financial institutions and investors are facing more pressure than ever to consider ESG, but do not have the tools and data available to make accurate and timely strategic decisions. 

The Financial Times, in partnership with Gtmhub, are pleased to host this webinar for executives in the financial sector to discuss how to manage ESG compliance risk and provide greater consistency and transparency of ESG data and strategy execution. The discussion will focus on disclosure practices and how technology will play a role in improving standardisation and reporting.
