The new business reality will require companies to become aware of their dependence and impact on their ecosystem and to embed the concept of sustainability into their strategy and business model. This paradigm shift is driving a commensurate transformation in corporate reporting.
Novisto exists to contribute to the sustainability of the economy, environment, and society by empowering companies to make better decisions and disclosures through our ESG data management software.
Our one-day conference will bring together business leaders and investors who are embracing the paradigm shift to sustainability-aligned business practices, who believe in technology as a catalyst for ESG adoption and integration, and who are seeking to effect change.

Companies are making great strides in improving the quality of their ESG reporting to better meet the needs of investors and other stakeholders. However, reporting is not an end in itself, but an accountability mechanism of management. Ultimately, companies must strive for outcomes that not only enable them to thrive, but also to contribute positively to the natural and social ecosystem they depend on. To do that, companies must cross the next frontier of integrating sustainability into their business model and strategy. This panel of corporate sustainability leaders will explore the challenges and potential rewards of taking this crucial next step.

The way that digital sustainability data flows between systems and stakeholders today is not fit for purpose. This siloed, complex, and inconsistent system for information data flows is costing the global economy trillions of US dollars each year, and results in less informed decision-making. That, in turn, negatively impacts businesses, economies, communities, the climate, and the natural world. David Wray, President, DFCG International Group and co-founder of the Capitals Coalition’s Digitalizing Sustainability Data Lab, will share details of this global initiative to design and develop an integrated and interoperable digital sustainability data flow system that treats sustainability data with the same, governance, transparency and assurance as that of financial data and disclosures.
