In conversation with:

Nitesh Mehrotra
EY India Business Consulting Partner (ESG Governance, Process & Digitization Lead)

Podcast host Silloo Jangalwala, Associate Director, BMC, speaks to Nitesh Mehrotra from Business consulting at EY India about measuring ESG performance with data analytics.

Background:

ESG today is a focused boardroom agenda for all leading enterprises to create and protect value. It is critical to have consistent and comparable scientific measurement of sustainability variables across all stakeholders. There is a need to have a single version of truth with near to real time performance analytics to create actionable insights.

Key takeaways

  • There are several ESG frameworks and ratings, including the SEBI BRSR in India, built from the point of view of different stakeholders such as investors, customers, societal and regulatory.
  • ESG data goals have four pillars: scientific measurement and baselining; benchmarking and continuous monitoring; improving performance; and effective communication of the impact and value to stakeholders.
  • An organization needs to measure not only the enterprise data it emits but also that of third-parties, in, say, the supply chain, and external data such as from ratings agencies, competitor intelligence, and sectoral benchmarks.
  • The EY BRSR database creates benchmarks and analytics models to provide a view of the sectoral peers’ performance as well as scientific measurement of sustainability variables.
