Faced with the constant evolution of regulatory requirements and the proliferation of ESG data sources, financial actors must rethink their approach to data management. Public sources are now establishing themselves as an essential strategic lever: transparent, methodologically rigorous, and often free, they effectively complement traditional private data.

Join us for this exclusive webinar where we will share best practices for integrating public sources into your data management strategy in 2026, alongside two public data providers, Global Canopy and Urgewald, as well as FIR who have supported us on this topic.

🎯 Why public sources are essential in 2026

Discover how public sources meet the concrete needs of financial actors: exclusion strategies, scoring, shareholder engagement, rating…

🔍 Methodological transparency: a major asset

At a time when regulation on ESG Ratings is tightening, the methodological transparency of public sources gives them a privileged position. Our speakers will detail their approaches to guarantee this transparency, from calculation formulae to the normalisation of raw data.

✅ Data quality and freshness

The quality of ESG data remains a major challenge for asset managers. We will address the issues of accessibility, format, processing, and above all the frequency of updates for public data.

🔗 Matching and complementarity with private sources

How can you effectively identify and cross-reference public data with your existing private sources? Our speakers will share their best practices and concrete use cases, particularly on the crucial issues of deforestation and fossil fuels.
