Webcast: ESG Ratings – AI Empowered
Many European companies under increasing scrutiny from ESG rating agencies – and the requirements for transparency, data quality and comparability are constantly increasing. With the new EU regulation on ESG rating providers, the issue of reliable, consistent and meaningful ESG data is becoming more important than ever. We explore how companies can strategically use their ESG data to improve ratings, strengthen investor confidence and efficiently meet regulatory requirements – and what role artificial intelligence plays in this.
In the webinar ‘ESG Ratings – AI Empowered’, our colleague Kathinka Gruber, Consultant ESG/Sustainability at Kirchhoff Consult, discusses with Dr Julia Haake, MD, Head of ESG Rating Agency, EthiFinance, and Marcel von dem Berge, Account Executive, Briink, about how ESG rating practices are changing and what opportunities arise from combining high-quality ESG data with artificial intelligence.
Dr Julia Haake presents the EthiFinance rating system and provides insight into the regulatory framework surrounding ESG rating providers. Kathinka Gruber shows why the quality of ESG data is crucial to success in the capital markets. She also explains how consistent, comparable and transparent data not only helps companies achieve better ratings, but also strengthens investor confidence. Best practices – such as Porsche's ESG addendum and EWE's ESG Fact Book – clearly show how targeted disclosure can contribute to value enhancement. Finally, Marcel von dem Berge presents how AI helps to automatically recognise and evaluate ESG data. Briink's tool makes it possible to identify data gaps and align your own disclosures with the requirements of rating agencies. This is a step towards greater efficiency and strategic benefits in ESG reporting.
Quality beats quantity. Those who present ESG data in a visible, comparable and consistent manner create the basis for trust – and strengthen their own position on the capital market.
