ESG Data Management Playbook: How to Produce Reliable Data

Markets are moving from voluntary and unstructured environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data and sustainability reporting to mandatory and standardized sustainability disclosures. To deliver and sustain these reporting trends, companies need a framework for properly managing their ESG and sustainability data. The good news is, they don’t have to start from scratch: the knowledge and tools to achieve quality ESG data and disclosures already exist and simply need to be brought to the rapidly emerging sustainability practices.

The EDM Council ESG Working Group has produced a practical playbook illustrating how two such tools, the COSO Internal Control over Sustainability Reporting (ICSR) guidance and the DCAM data management framework, can effectively be leveraged. In this webinar, the playbook’s authors will explain how companies can use it to achieve appropriately governed and managed ESG and sustainability data and disclosures.

AI, Data & Analytics Controls (ADAC): Using CDMC for AI Use Case Governance

Join us for our EDMWebinar which will cover the AI, Data & Analytics Controls (ADAC) framework, a pivotal extension of the CDMC to encompass governance for Analytics & AI use cases.

In this session, we will delve into the development of the ADAC framework, which will offer a comprehensive overview and will detail best practices and automations for managing risks within AI and Analytics platforms. ADAC builds upon the CDMC (Cloud Data Management Capabilities) industry framework, which defines the standards for effective data management, controls and automations to protect sensitive data. CDMC was developed by a consortium including EDM Council, LSEG, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, AWS, Azure, Google, and Snowflake in 2021.

Our webinar will also highlight the ADAC working group, which convenes on Mondays at 3 pm GMT / 10 am EST.

Map & Measure Your Data Management Journey with the Data Excellence Program

A major, cross-industry gap constraining the data management function is a lack of formal recognition of data management capability at the organizational level. Without this recognition, data management typically faces significant challenges to secure funding as an ongoing program and to elevate and acknowledge the importance of data management as a core function in an organization.

Join this EDMWebinar to learn more about the EDM Council’s new Data Excellence Program – the first of its kind – for mapping your organization’s journey to measuring, achieving and sustaining data excellence and earning formal recognition.

You will learn more about the program’s key elements and benefits including:

  • Data Management Program – Establish data management as an ongoing program, rather than a singular or one-off project, with journey mapping and goal-setting for continuous, organization-wide improvement
  • Funding Support – Establish measurements and compare to peer benchmarks to assist with funding justification
  • Business Value – Strategically align your data program to your organization’s business goals
  • Trusted Data – Assure data quality, security, governance, compliance, and ethical use of data
  • Global Recognition – Earn formal industry recognition for your organization’s ongoing commitment to data excellence

Meet some of the Founders of the Data Excellence Program who will discuss why they support the program and delve into the current and future value they expect to deliver to their own organizations!
