ESG data is now under the same level of scrutiny as financial reporting. As regulation accelerates under CSRD, ISSB and beyond, organisations need to demonstrate that sustainability data is robust, controlled and audit-ready.
Many still rely on fragmented processes that cannot meet these expectations at scale.
This guide sets out a clear, practical approach to improving ESG data governance. It draws on financial reporting disciplines and leading practice to help organisations strengthen control, improve auditability and use sustainability data with greater confidence.
Download the guide to understand:
- What regulators and auditors now expect from ESG data
- Where current reporting approaches are falling short
- How to design governance, controls and ownership that stand up to scrutiny
- The role of systems and automation in improving data quality and efficiency
- How to align ESG data with financial reporting frameworks
Why this matters now
As ESG reporting moves rapidly from voluntary disclosure to regulated, decision-useful information, mandatory ESG disclosures are raising the bar – and increasing the pressure.
Sustainability data must now meet defined standards for accuracy, consistency and traceability, with a clear link to financial performance, strategy and risk.
Organisations that act early will reduce reporting risk, avoid costly rework and build confidence with stakeholders.
Who this is for
CFOs and finance leaders responsible for reporting integrity
- Sustainability and ESG leads managing disclosures
- Risk and compliance teams preparing for assurance
- Internal audit and governance professionals

Organisations that treat ESG data with the same discipline as financial data will be better prepared for regulation and better positioned to use that data commercially as part of the journey to Sustainable Performance.
