Impact of blockchain & AI on ESG

Thomson Reuters Institute Insights Podcast

In this week’s Thomson Reuters Institute Insights podcast, we discuss data concerns around environmental, social & governance (ESG) activities with Frank Zambrelli, Executive Director of the Responsible Business Coalition at Fordham's Gabelli School of Business and Managing Director of the Global ESG Retail practice at Accenture.

The podcast explores the current state of ESG data, including why many companies are far away from “audit-quality financial data,” the wrinkles that upcoming government regulations may put into the data collection process, and the difficulties that come with categorizing Scope 3 emissions.
