ESG disclosures are becoming more complex, more fragmented and burdensome. And with new rules for the UK, the ESG Omnibus in Europe and reporting rules rapidly growing globally, firms are being forced to spend more time and money disclosing sustainability information. On top of this is an ever growing industry of consultants, assurance providers, software solutions trying to win businesses from obligated firms.
The purpose of this webinar is to see how AI tools are feeding into compliance efforts and to see how AI can support data analysis, identify material issues, provide numerical answers to difficult sustainability data points and build the reports. Members joining this webinar will hear from AI providers, hear about the pitfalls and drawbacks of using AI for ESG disclosures and discuss their own approaches.
Agenda:
11:00 – 11:05 Welcome and introductions
11:05 – 11:30 Presentation: Practical demonstration of how AI tools can support ESG disclosure efforts.
11:30 – 12:00 Case study and discussion on things to consider and pitfalls
12:00 – 12:30 Member discussion and Q&A
