With ESG now considered a key performance indicator (KPI) of a healthy, thriving business, companies are, for the first time in history, required to report integrated financial and non-financial data. This represents a true sea change in corporate reporting. EY Better Finance podcast Myles Corben talks with Wolters Kluwer thought leaders about how the right technology can bring clarity to this new level of reporting complexity. They also discuss how solutions that enable organizations to collect, report, analyze and assure the accuracy of financial and non-financial reporting can help transform ESG metrics into a true competitive advantage.
The podcast features Maria Montenegro, Wolters Kluwer Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, and James Paterson, North America Vice President and General Manager of CCH Tagetik. Together, they explore key issues that are germane to CFOs who are feeling an increased sense of urgency to meet stakeholder demand for investor-grade ESG and financial data, including:
- Why ESG has risen to the top of the corporate agenda of most large, multinational companies.
- Why ESG is a true team sport within large companies, one that requires internal functions, businesses and regions to rise above their siloes, so they can share, report and make meaningful use of data.
- Why digital transformation is essential to organizations’ ability to cut through data complexity, mitigate risk, and comply with the ever-changing ESG regulatory environment, while identifying new opportunities to advance their journeys as sustainable businesses and good corporate citizens.
- How Wolters Kluwer launched a new division in early 2023 – Corporate Performance & ESG – with the specific goal of meeting the growing, global demand for integrated financial, non-financial, operational, and ESG performance management and reporting solutions and expertise.
- How specific Wolters Kluwer technologies – including CCH Tagetik and Enablon – are driving the digital transformation of integrated financial and non-financial reporting.
