Discussion on What Boards Need from CIOs on ESG Initiatives

The Monticello team joined Gartner’s  conversation on What Boards Need from CIOs on Environmental, Social and Governance Initiatives. Technology organizations must be aware of what ESG is and be prepared to inject data and insight that will help the enterprise improve access to capital, cost of capital, operating costs, and ultimately stock performance.  Data is at the core of ESG and Boards want CIOs to 1) Help firms start an ESG program 2) Improve data quality, traceability, and accessibility, and 3) link digital to sustainability.  Strong ESG programs offer many benefits including financial of course but also in the area of talent acquisition. The Monticello ESG team looks forward to working with our many clients as they embark on their ESG journey through technology implementation efforts to help automate ESG data collection to improve quality and traceability tied to materiality issues.
