Attended CILTSA's ESG Conference titled From Data to Decisions: Utilising ESG Data for Smarter Business Strategies on the 25 July 2024. There as a great line-up of speakers and panelists to share lessons learned and insights on how to collect data for ESG reporting. There were many key take-aways and in no order of importance here are some of them: 1. Form a financial perspective linking income statement to the sustainability data points. Using UNSDG helps translate the data.  2. Make it relevant to how much money you will make. 3. When it comes to capitalising ESG – need to look at "Social" as a license operate e.g. mining industry. Constantly have to show ROI and SROI 4. Data reporting – the real challenge is the data itself (not the reporting). This includes the way you "collect" data; "quality" of the data.  By asking the following questions: "what are the data challenges along the way?" "which regulation is applicable to your industry?" "which frameworks will you use?" "What are the actual metrics that you will report on?" NB: There is a lack of data and define what local data means to us and local metrics… 5. Importance of visibility of the data and how to tell the story. 6. Partner and process platform in the logistics industry to integrate sustainability into core operational model vs looking at data points. Ask the question: "How do we use the G to show the S?" Other importance facts shared by EY team on how to navigate the World of ESG metrics in the Data Landscape where as follows: 1. According to EY Global Corporate Reporting and Institutional Investor Survey 2023, Stakeholder expectations on sustainability continue to increase, leading to continued focus on enhanced ESG reporting. 2. The Transport & Logistics must address a range of significant ESG risks and opportunities (lot of data coming through the value chain e.g. CO3 emissions, SASB Materiality matrix, Companies Press Releases and Sustainability Reports, MSCI Materiality Matrix 3. Sourcing and managing ESG data remains a key challenge (significant dependence on third party service providers – using third party data), Study conducted by Dun & Bradstreet, March 2022 4. EY has developed a four step journey for ESG reporting: Step 1:Strategy & Discovery(Identify used cases; data domains; ESG Data operating model) Step 2: Collection and Validation (Source mapping; data collection & quality) Step 3:Governance & Build (where is the data sourced) Step 4: Operationalization (Disclosure Reporting Accelerator) Special thanks to host and convenor: Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (SA); Catherine Larkin APR CMILT,Comms and Marketing Specialist; Moyra Mapeza #ESG #Sustainability #Data #Thoughtleadership #Logistics #Transport Gloria Ndoro-Mkombachoto Hanga Consulting LLC
