ESG: Practical data strategies for meeting ESG obligations in financial services

Download this whitepaper to find out about the ESG investing landscape, how to build a successful ESG program, and the benefits of a ‘lineage-first’ compliance solution.

With each passing month, the pace at which environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles are being addressed has been accelerating.

Download this whitepaper to find out about the ESG investing landscape, how to build a successful ESG program, and the benefits of a ‘lineage-first’ compliance solution.

The ESG investing landscape

Almost half the world’s assets under management involve a commitment to meeting climate change goals, according to pledges under the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative.

“The impact of ESG will be felt far and wide across the financial services community… The practical challenge is how to develop and implement an ESG strategy that is both effective and avoids box-ticking.”

Importance in organization-wide ESG understanding

Best practice suggests the development of an internal framework for identifying people and teams responsible for meeting ESG obligations; interpretation of rules and regulations to define the obligation, and defining the deliverable to meet the obligation. The sophisticated integration capabilities of Solidatus can help with these challenges.

Building a successful ESG Program

Success in meeting ESG obligations depends on the ability to understand the data supply chain and how it intersects throughout the organization. Firms are finding that they are ill-equipped to gather the data they need, both to identify their obligations and to assign responsibility and resource to deliver on them.

It is necessary to adopt strong governance and lineage disciplines to ensure regulatory obligations are mapped to appropriate data sources to ensure consistency and compliance. They also need to ensure flexibility to be prepared to meet regulations and reporting requirements as they evolve.

The benefits of a ‘lineage-first’ ESG solution

The ground-breaking lineage-first approach by Solidatus brings together ESG principles, company priorities, assessment methodologies and data sources and metrics to give a full end-to-end picture of the impact of ESG initiatives.

Solidatus brings ESG priorities, reporting and assessments together with the data flows, processes and their owners in a managed, sharable and maintained environment — meaning better governance, less waste, more efficiency and more effective socialisation of ESG programs.

Data Cataloging: define, classify, locate and maximize the value of your data

Data Catalogs allow business and technology users to speak the same language by linking Business Glossaries, Data Dictionaries and Data Lineage models together.

It is clear that knowing what data is flowing through your business is critical to help users find the information they need; to identify sensitive or licensed data, to track critical data elements, and to understand how data is used.

It is common in organizations without data cataloging to spend significant time sourcing the right data for a project – taking weeks to find and get approval to use data. The consequences of missing data can be severe too – no-one wants to tell a regulator that they missed out data from their regulatory report.

GDPR dossier: Sample model & related resources

An interactive Solidatus model and dossier of material to help you reassess your ways of working in the complex area of GDPR and data privacy

GDRPR data protection by design and default

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) ushered in a new era for the protection of personal data from organizations misusing it. It forced organizations take pause and assess their management of personal data, its use, access, location and purpose.

The strategic solution is to ‘digitize’ the data sharing agreement contractual frameworks with the ability to produce process outputs to users and connecting applications ensuring the participation of the relevant stakeholders in real-time.

To ensure a robust, relevant and up to date data protection framework, the usage of appropriate tooling is required. This also acts to facilitate future scalability.

Solidatus for data protection

In order to digitize and lift meaningful information from contracts, Solidatus offers the ability to provide a platform where not only inputs can be uploaded, eg terms and conditions, but also where meaningful relationships can be mapped which can be codified into the metadata and query language.

This allows your organization to streamline contractual, legal and regulatory compliance requirements, and reduce the documentation that needs to be completed and executed for each project.

Solidatus modeling is proven to garner powerful outputs for global organizations. Users can immediately understand which countries are participating in data sharing agreements, under what conditions, which processes, what data categories they are being impacted by and which external regulations are driving the impact.

Get instant access to the sample model and dossier of material, which includes:

a whitepaper on data protection by design and default
a case study on cross-border data sharing for a global bank
a GDPR factsheet and a selection of relevant blog posts.

Our read-only model is designed to give you a flavor of how you can use Solidatus for clever data management, visualization and discovery.

FIMA report: Data as a strategic growth asset

The FIMA Europe Research Report provides a unique insight into prevailing attitudes to data management among senior financial executives charged with delivering it within their enterprises.

Data Management: Lessons Learned

“Respondents to the FIMA 2021 report would be expected to ensure that the data for which they are responsible is fit for purpose. Answers to some of the questions, however, suggest that there may still be shortcomings…”

Containing survey answers from 100 Chief Data Officers from buy-side and sell-side firms across Europe, find out the challenges faced in 2021 and the solutions being put in place.

Some key findings from the report:

91% of respondents do not have a ‘high level of trust’ in the accuracy, traceability, and usability of their data across their enterprise.
51% of respondents answered that they use automation to identify data risks, but only 14% of answers included any knowledge of the processes involved.

Improved Decision-Making Through Trusted Data

The regulatory landscape is still in a phase of adjustment. Risk portfolios are expanding to include less familiar challenges, such as personal data privacy, cloud usage, Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG), and climate risk. As a result, firms are now placing more attention on the need to review controls of automation tools (e.g. supervision of robotic process automation (RPA)) and evaluating quality control of digital processes.

Today’s regulatory environment is in contrast to the past when regulators were responsible for identifying noncompliant behaviors and practices. It now places the onus on firms to transform their data analytics capabilities. This includes their ability to collect, store, and analyze data.

Today there are strong incentives for firms to transform how they manage risk compliantly and efficiently.

Success requires the replacement of legacy systems, automation of manual tasks, adoption of Cloud strategies (proprietary or otherwise) and integration of artificial intelligence and advanced machine learning techniques in core business processes.

Many firms are still on the journey in a process that is set to be transformational, not only in an operational sense but strategically too. When implemented in its entirety, big data will help firms go well beyond improving their risk management, reporting compliance, and operational efficiency. It will help them in devising better pre-and post-trading methodologies and improving the client experience, front-office sales and client retention.

Strong data management will be foundational. But it offers exciting opportunity – to gain insight, drive client value, and growth in revenues.

Understanding the state of local government data

For Digital Leaders Week 2021, we joined our client Devon County Council and our partner Peak Indicators to discuss the how the Smarter Devon program – alongside Solidatus and Peak – is meeting the Council’s human and technical challenges around compliance and data governance.

Devon County Council goal was to democratize information about data by transferring understanding from human brains into a knowledge-sharing tool
The Council’s focus areas were Information Compliance and Data Management, with two areas of challenges: Human and Technical
Solidatus was brought in by partner Peak Indicators to embed data journey mapping across the organization, develop a metadata framework and ensure data quality that improved projects and led to better business decisions
This resulted in confidence in the organizational data and reporting measures on a Technical level, and enabled cultural change on a Human level

Devon County Council faced a number of obstacles when it came to their data due to compliance and data protection laws. They needed to quickly understand how they were processing personal data, what information assets they had, which data sources were attributable, who was responsible, who was using the data and where it was going – that’s where lineage plays a crucial role.

After working closely with our partner Peak Indicators, Devon County Council engaged Solidatus to help them map out their data discovery. Solidatus made it possible for the Council to visualize the flow of their metadata throughout the organization, giving them the opportunity to share important knowledge between teams. Solidatus Customer Success Manager Bipin Mistry commented, “The benefit of having that information is that you retain knowledge within the company – it isn’t walking out of the door with a person anymore.”

The Solidatus solution is simple: discover data, visualize it, and act upon it.
