Using smart ESG technologies to navigate the journey to investor-grade reporting

Investors, regulators, and other stakeholders are keenly focused on ESG disclosures. Companies not only need to be more transparent about their ESG strategies and metrics, but they also need to ensure their disclosures are "investment grade". Yet many organizations are grappling with a myriad of ESG reporting standards and frameworks and numerous requests for transparency and reporting from different stakeholder groups. New technologies can help companies prioritize their reporting and disclosure efforts, and leverage data-driven insights to inform more strategic decisions around their ESG strategy. Join Kelli Rogge, PwC ESG Director, and Ryan Renaud, PwC ESG Manager, for a discussion on leading practices in ESG reporting, specifically: • Aligning your reporting with management's strategy for long-term value creation. • Adopting the generally accepted reporting standards and frameworks that are appropriate for your stakeholders (e.g., SASB, TCFD, GRI). • Using technologies like PwC’s ESG Pulse to obtain a rapid overview of the current maturity of reporting processes and gain insight on areas for improvement in the reporting process. • Building robust ESG policies, processes and controls, and oversight. • Navigating the ESG technology landscape towards better integrating with the corporate environment. • Involving the finance organization, internal and external auditors to bring confidence and trust to disclosures.
