ESG Forum: 

Could AI (Artificial Intelligence) be the driving force behind the transition towards a green economy? Given that this is such a trending topic, it would be great to get a discussion going. Please comment your thoughts below!

Hi Everyone, I was wondering, what are people's opinions of the new CSRD reporting regulations? Will they stand given Trump's presidency starting next year? Or have we come too far not to continue down the road of sustainability, towards net zero? I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts. Please also let us know if you're directly affected by the new CSRD regulations, or will be in future reporting years. I look forward to reading them all.

As ESG professionals, you’re on the front lines of driving sustainability and social impact in large organisations. I’m currently exploring ways to improve collaboration across different departments and functions when it comes to implementing ESG initiatives, and I’d love to tap into the collective wisdom of this community. Why Collaboration Matters: We all know that successful ESG initiatives require more than just a dedicated team—it’s about engaging the entire organisation, from procurement to finance, to ensure compliance and drive meaningful change. But this is often easier said than done. Some of the challenges I’ve encountered or heard about include: • Data Silos: ESG-related data often sits in various systems or with different departments, making it difficult to compile accurate and comprehensive reports. • Varied Understanding: Not everyone across the organisation has the same level of understanding or commitment to ESG, which can lead to inconsistencies in how initiatives are implemented. • Competing Priorities: Everyone already has a full plate with their day jobs—getting them to prioritise ESG tasks can be a struggle. The Big Question: Given these challenges, I’m curious—what do you think would make a real difference? If you could design the ideal tool or service to foster better collaboration on ESG initiatives, what features would it have? How could it help overcome the barriers we face? Your Insights Matter: I believe that with the right tools and strategies, we can empower organisations to not only meet regulatory requirements but to truly embed sustainability into their culture. Whether you’ve seen something work well in your own organisation or you have ideas for what could be improved, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Your insights could help shape the next generation of ESG collaboration tools. Looking forward to the discussion!
