Starting your ESG data collection journey? My biggest piece of advice is simple: leverage the resources already available in the industry. The ESG landscape is complex, with multiple reporting frameworks, varied data requirements, and definitions that can quickly feel overwhelming. Instead of starting from scratch, use existing resources and platforms that can lay out the puzzle pieces for you. A good ESG platform (obviously, I'm biased) will have already documented data variables for each report, making your start smoother and your path forward clearer. With these tools in place, your team stays engaged, and you avoid unnecessary reinvention along the way. The goal is to focus on what matters—driving impact—rather than on the mechanics of data management. If you’re embarking on this journey, don’t hesitate to explore the tools available. Getting the fundamentals right from day one will set you up for ESG success.
