A discussion with Scaler - ESG reporting, assurance and digital enablement: from compliance to decision-making
Sustainability reporting expectations are being raised. Increasingly formalised sustainability disclosure requirements are coming into play, and stakeholder scrutiny is growing too.
These developments are driving a broader shift towards more continuous ESG data management and governance.
In this context, organisations will need to demonstrate in detail that the sustainability information they report is accurate, traceable, supported by evidence, and subject to the appropriate controls.
Jing Wang, Head of Assurance at BIP.Verco, discussed these trends, and the growing role of sustainability assurance, with the team at Scaler, a leading real estate data platform.
Together, they produced an article, covering:
- how reporting maturity is changing assurance conversations;
- how ESG reporting is being digitalised; and
- the changing relationship between reporting, governance, assurance, and technology.
You can read the article on Scaler's website now.
