DataShare Data Foundation

We’re taking the last podcast of 2021 to take a look at the leadership roles of the Chief Data Officers and the Federal Chief Data Officers Council, and the work they are doing to help create a data infrastructure, and build a culture of data.

As our regular listeners know, we’ve been hosting a series of events as a part of our RegTech 2021 series, sponsored by Donnelly Financial Solutions. The RegTech 2021 series was capped off with a panel that examined Data Coalition's ESG Working Group’s recommendations on how to improve Environment, Social and Governance data ecosystems among financial institutions and regulators.

The Data Coalition and DFIN hosted a conversation with members of the EDM Council ESG Working Group that focuses on the results of its Corporate Reporting Entity findings in part 3 of the RegTech 2021 Series. The report is one section of a larger body of work that contains the results of a nine-month study to investigate, review, and document ESG data challenges through a collaborative, cross-industry approach with data professionals, corporate sustainability reporting professionals, ESG subject matter experts, and other business leaders.
