The ESG data spreadsheet that’s never quite ready before stakeholder reviews

The situation this course is for

Every reporting cycle, ESG research teams face the same bottleneck: incomplete datasets from internal and external sources. Manual follow-ups, inconsistent formatting, and unclear ownership delay consolidation. This forces last-minute fixes, undermines credibility, and consumes time that should go toward insight. The cost isn’t just time, it’s reduced influence in key conversations.

Who this is for

ESG research lead in asset management, responsible for timely, accurate reporting to internal and external stakeholders

Who this is not for

This is not for sustainability consultants, ESG software vendors, or corporate ESG teams without reporting ownership

What you walk away with

  • Identify the 3 most common ESG data gaps by issuer type and data provider
  • Build a validation checklist that cuts manual review time by 50%
  • Create a stakeholder-aligned data request template that gets faster responses
  • Map data ownership across internal teams to reduce follow-up work
  • Deploy a tracking system that shows data readiness status in real time
