Recorded Webinar: Sourcing and managing ESG disclosure data to ensure compliance

8 February 2022

As interest in ESG investing continues to accelerate, asset managers must source and manage increasing volumes of ESG disclosure data. Data volumes are not the only problem, with different types of ESG disclosure data, the need to master the data, and a lack of standards all contributing to the challenges of getting compliance right and avoiding the penalties of getting it wrong.

This webinar will discuss the data and data management challenges of ESG disclosure data, emerging regulatory requirements, best practice approaches to compliance, and technology services and solutions that can help firms ensure they meet their regulatory obligations. It will also touch on how ESG disclosure data and its regulation is expected to develop, and how asset managers can prepare for ongoing change.

  • Challenges of sourcing and managing ESG disclosure data
  • Best practice approaches to regulatory compliance requirements
  • Technology services and solutions offering support
