Chances are you find collecting and processing ESG data challenging. After all, it often involves new, non-financial information that you were not previously required to measure or report. That makes it difficult to determine exactly what you need and where to start.

Do you recognise this? Different standards and formats make measuring sustainability complex? Do you lack (basic) knowledge in your organisation to combine sustainability and data? Or do you get questions from customers or suppliers about ESG but don't know how to deal with this in the chain?

Then this CoP is for you.

At the end of this CoP:

• Do you know how to set up an effective ESG data structure; 

• Do you know your way around systems and formats; 

• Is your data collection process more efficient and the quality better; 

• Have more practical tools to exchange data in chains; 

• Do you steer ESG data towards real impact.

The set-up  

You work together with an established group of companies with similar ESG data challenges. You exchange knowledge and experiences and search for solutions together under the guidance of knowledge experts. This Community of Practice facilitates both physical meetings and online knowledge sharing.  

All sessions will take place from 14:00 to 17:00, followed by networking drinks until 18:00. Walk-in is from 13:30.
