Spending 10+ hours every week chasing ESG data inputs from inconsistent sources and reformatting them for review?

The situation this course is for

Each reporting cycle starts with a scramble: outdated templates, mismatched definitions, manual consolidation, and last-minute stakeholder revisions. The process stalls at collection, not analysis. You’re not lacking expertise, you’re trapped in a broken workflow that erodes credibility and bandwidth. This isn’t about better data, it’s about a better system to govern it.

Who this is for

ESG and sustainability leaders in financial data firms who own cross-functional reporting and are under pressure to deliver faster, cleaner outputs without adding headcount

Who this is not for

Individual contributors who don’t coordinate inputs across teams, or executives outsourcing full reporting operations to third parties

What you walk away with

  • Deploy a stakeholder-aligned ESG data intake template within 24 hours
  • Eliminate redundant follow-ups with pre-locked definitions and ownership
  • Reduce monthly reporting cycle time from 15+ days to under 3
  • Produce audit-ready summaries with version-controlled inputs
  • Confidently delegate collection without sacrificing consistency
