The Good Business Conference at Fordham Gabelli School of Business reinforced a vital theme: the importance of moving from just data collection to actionable data. Across panels, speakers drove home that effective ESG isn’t about having data; it’s about using it strategically to future-proof businesses. Here are some key takeaways from AccountAbility team members Jeffrey Kreisler and Melanie O'Brien: ?? Regulation as a Catalyst for Action? ESG regulations are no longer just compliance checkpoints—they’re tailwinds that propel companies to elevate sustainability into core business strategies. ?? Beyond Reporting: Actionable Data? Jennifer Silberman, SVP, Chief Sustainability Officer at Dollar Tree Stores pointed out that data must go beyond reporting; it should be data companies can act on. Integrating this into corporate strategy, rather than siloing it as “sustainability,” is critical to driving real impact. ?? Supplier Data Importance? High-quality ESG reporting often relies on solid supplier data. Persefoni’s Mike Wallace and Estee Lauder’s Al Iannuzzi underscored that suppliers are critical players in ESG data collection. Because supplier data is crucial for companies to build a complete picture of their ESG impact, it is increasingly important for companies to influence suppliers to produce more robust data, and with the right assurance (like the AA1000 Assurance Standards), companies can trust this data to inform better decision-making. ?? Continuous Improvement Over Perfection? Data-driven ESG management is a journey.?Reporting and data quality improve year over year. The key is to keep moving forward, knowing that year-one data will evolve as reporting becomes more rigorous and actionable. It was great to hear from all the participants at the Good Business Conference. Actionable ESG data isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s the foundation for resilient, impactful business strategies. #business #responsiblebusiness #sustainability #ESG? ?

I spent last week with our New York based team learning all about the impressive work AccountAbility has delivered over the last 30 years. The week's highlight was an elegant dinner at the University Club, where we were joined by 30 executives. Our guest of honour and advisory board member Sir Mark Moody-Stuart, former Chair of Shell and Anglo American, engaged in a fireside chat with our CEO, Sunny Misser, before taking questions from the audience. We were all struck by Sir Mark's continuous courage and humility. His TINA philosophy—There Is No Alternative (to sustainability)—continues to resonate powerfully. A photo below of the team, Sir Mark, and his lovely wife Lady Judy.
