SGS: ESG Reporting & Regulation Strategies Workshop
As regulatory pressure increases and stakeholder expectations rise, ESG reporting is no longer a compliance exercise. It has become a critical business function that shapes trust, investment decisions and long-term strategy.
Organisations face growing complexity across global ESG reporting standards, evolving regulations and expanding disclosure requirements. Many struggle with fragmented data, unclear ownership and inconsistent outputs. The result is reporting that meets minimum requirements but delivers limited strategic value.
At Net Zero Summit 2026, a focused workshop with SGS will address these challenges with practical guidance on building credible, decision-ready ESG reporting frameworks.
ESG Reporting & Regulation Strategies
- Date: 4 March 2026
- Time: 11:15 - 12:00 GMT
- Location: Room 1
This workshop is designed for sustainability, ESG, finance and risk leaders responsible for navigating regulatory frameworks while delivering meaningful disclosure.
Navigating global ESG reporting standards
Global ESG reporting frameworks continue to evolve, creating uncertainty for organisations operating across regions. Regulatory alignment now requires a structured approach to framework selection, data governance and reporting consistency.
The session will explore how to:
- Navigate global ESG reporting standards and regulatory requirements
- Reduce complexity across overlapping frameworks
- Build clarity and confidence in disclosure processes
Building robust and credible ESG disclosure
Credibility is now central to ESG reporting. Investors and regulators expect clear methodologies, reliable data and strong governance controls.
Participants will gain insight into:
- Designing robust ESG disclosure processes
- Strengthening internal controls and accountability
- Improving data quality and audit readiness
- Aligning ESG Reporting with Stakeholder Expectations
Effective ESG reporting must reflect the priorities of investors, regulators, customers and employees. Misalignment increases reputational risk and weakens trust.
This workshop will examine how organisations can:
- Align ESG disclosures with stakeholder expectations
- Improve transparency without increasing reporting burden
- Communicate ESG performance with clarity and consistency
- Using ESG Data to Support Strategic Decision-Making
High-quality ESG data should inform more than reports. When structured correctly, it supports investment decisions, risk management and long-term planning.
The session will show how to:
- Leverage ESG data for strategic decision-making
- Move from static reporting to insight-led analysis
- Connect ESG metrics to business performance
Who should attend?
This workshop is relevant for senior leaders responsible for ESG reporting, sustainability strategy, compliance, finance and risk. It is particularly valuable for organisations preparing for tighter regulation or seeking to improve the credibility and impact of their ESG disclosures.
Attend this session to understand how ESG reporting can move beyond compliance and become a strategic advantage.
