Session: The Rapid Evolution of Sustainability, ESG and Data in today's world
Two massive transformations are happening today, impacting all levels of people and organizations on a global level. The first is digital transformation and technologies along with the data that it generates. The second is the rapid changes in climate and the threat it poses globally. ESG is evolving into the standard framework for measuring results, especially within the investment community. Understanding the criticality that data plays in success, as well as the complexity of data metrics will be foundational to creating a new circular economy to help achieve sustainability.
