Conference Board: ESG Landscape Shifting The center of gravity in ESG is shifting, which presents a fresh set of challenges—and opportunities—for corporate America’s CEOs, as detailed in a new report by The Conference Board.

It was fantastic to be joined by so many participants and our speakers Annabel Mulder and Anita Dorett for yesterday's event ESG Investing: Unlocking Power of Open Data to reflect on the importance of open ESG data and metrics to investors to enhance corporate accountability. As we discussed, the importance of transparency in ESG data can not be overstated and the wealth of civil society data on issues such as human rights needs to be brought more to the fore, and not hidden behind opaque scores. We learned about the important work of the Investor Alliance for Human Rights to connect investors to the civil society data needed to engage with companies and inform their decision-making. We also heard about the new Social Benchmark and the commitments made by the World Benchmarking Alliance to openness and transparency through all of their benchmarks and data. Stay tuned to our page this month as we launch the new features we demonstrated during the event, making it easier for you to explore benchmarks and data.    📣 The social benchmark is also now available on Wikirate to explore from the top-level scores all the way down to the underlying data of 2000 of the most impactful companies in the world:   https://lnkd.in/ezU5wqU4
