Interesting day yesterday attending the CDP UK Disclosure Workshop, hosted by our partners KPMG UK. The keynote from Paul Dickinson, and other breakout sessions, gave me a few key takeaways: -"You can't manage what you don't measure" was a key theme across the workshop. To step into transition planning, you need to take a data-first approach to sustainability. -CFOs must take responsibility for sustainability data- with increased disclosures on the horizon, coupled with CSRD, ESG data needs to be brought into the focus of the CFO. -Sustainability is not just about compliance; there are clear financial incentives to stay ahead in reporting and planning, especially with the growing investor focus.  -The reporting burden is as high as it's ever been. With multiple frameworks, sustainability teams are at risk of focussing on updating processes rather than impactful sustainability strategies. #CDP #Sustainability #ESG #KPMG #Workshop #Finance #DataDriven #Investors #Workiva CDP Workiva IFRS Foundation
