What is the Fix the Broken ESG Data Pipeline course about?

You pull data from multiple sources, some automated, some sent via email, some locked in legacy systems. Each month, reconciling discrepancies eats days. When a new stakeholder request comes in, the whole chain breaks. You know the data isn’t fully trusted, and the lack of traceability means every report risks challenge. You’re spending more time defending outputs than improving them.
