Achieving ESG Data Trust: Internal Optimization for Assurance Readiness

Join Workiva and Verdantix for a comprehensive review of the current state of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting practices, focusing on insights derived from a survey conducted by Verdantix. The study involved in-depth interviews with 52 decision-makers from diverse roles within large organizations across the United States, Europe, and Canada.

The survey findings reveal that organizations are experiencing mounting pressure to improve their ESG reporting in light of higher investor focus and forthcoming mandatory regulations. This webinar will delve into the key takeaways from the survey, shedding light on the strategies organizations are adopting to prepare for future ESG assurance requirements.

Join us as we explore how the ESG controller is emerging as a key stakeholder in the ESG operating process. We’ll also discuss the crucial aspects of building an effective ESG reporting strategy that meets current demands and considers future assurance requirements. As companies seek to achieve ESG compliance and drive broader business value, we’ll examine the role of technology in bolstering confidence in the ESG reporting process and the latest changes to organizations’ operating models.
