Organizations across industries are facing increasing pressure to deliver accurate, auditable, and regulator-ready Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) disclosures – often with fragmented data, unclear ownership, and evolving requirements. To help tackle these challenges, IVI is excited to announce the digital launch of the ESG Data Governance Playbook. 

You can download a copy of the Playbook by filling in the form below, or watch a recording of the webinar which took place on 22nd January 2026.

The playbook is relevant to anyone accountable for ESG data, disclosures, or assurance, regardless of whether ESG reporting is finance-led or sustainability-led. It is intentionally designed for cross-functional teams, including senior leaders, sustainability teams, finance or legal functions, and record management teams, as well as academics researchers who examine data governance models.

Session Overview
In the webinar session, IVI doctoral researcher Coleen Giffin presented the final ESG Data Governance Playbook, sharing key insights from her research and demonstrating how organisations can move forward with more secure, intelligent, and compliant ESG data practices. The discussion focused on practical governance structures, roles, controls, and evidence expectations that support evolving regulatory and assurance demands. Attendees also participated in a very lively Q&A and discussion to explore some of the future paths opened by Coleen’s research.
