Key Learning Outcomes: By the end of the session, participants should really understand why robust ESG data collection matters — and why accuracy, completeness, and consistency are essential for reporting metrics correctly. They’ll learn how to spot the common pitfalls we see in practice. The aim is for them to clearly distinguish strong versus weak practices, recognize red flags that undermine credibility (like undocumented estimates, missing evidence, or uncontrolled spreadsheets), and leave with practical steps to strengthen their internal data governance.

Focus Areas: We’ll begin by setting the stage with the regulatory and market context — why ESG reporting is under the spotlight and what investors and regulators are really looking for. From there, we’ll walk through the ESG reporting lifecycle step by step, so participants can see where data collection fits and why it often becomes the sticking point. We’ll then dive into the real challenges: the errors and blind spots that crop up most frequently in data collection, whether from systems, manual processes, or oversight. Finally, we’ll shift to the solutions — highlighting best practices, preventive measures, and internal controls that make the difference between data that barely passes a review and data that stands up confidently to external assurance.

Intended Approach: The session will be interactive, with a 30–40 minute presentation woven together with quick polls and a short quiz to keep participants engaged. We’ll then open the floor for Q&A and close with a clear call to action, giving them practical steps to take back into their organizations within the allocated time.
