Abstract: Organizations need to identify ESG risks associated with their business practices and act upon them quickly to preserve their brand value and avoid any non-compliance penalties. Organizations today spend substantial efforts on analysis of reporting standards and frameworks (such as SFDR, TCFD, SASB, CDP, and many others) to make sure that they are not violating any ESG compliance standards or any voluntary ESG commitments. Many of these reporting standards are interrelated and share common data elements; closely inspecting relationships of such disclosures through a purpose-built ESG knowledge graph can assist human disclosure reviewers, reduce total manual review efforts, and significantly speed up the time taken to comply with the ever-evolving ESG reporting landscape. In this session, we will show you how to visualize the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting landscape in graphs.
