With a new year comes a renewed focus on ESG from all who commit to it, but have the financial industry’s efforts been overly focused on the environment, leaving social and governance by the wayside.

Behind every ESG effort must be good data to convey environmental commitments and the risk surrounding them, a point not lost on Tata Consultancy Services Partner, Navin Rauniar.

Navin joins Jawad Akhtar on FinTalk to discuss social value metrics, SS3/19 impacts, and the importance of good data standards in any ESG endeavours.

This episode of The VERMEG podcast covers:

• Metrics of social value, such as gender equality and diversity & inclusion
• How poor data surrounding collateral played into the cause of 2008’s financial crisis
• SS3/19’s impact on financial risk surrounding environmental commitments and policies
• Finding the balance between risk and reward in the markets following The Edinburgh reforms in December
