Building trust in ESG in hard to abate aluminium sector - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

The paradox of ESG data is that much of the data must come from the sites themselves - this is the source - yet producers will naturally find it difficult to produce a standardised metric that can be used to compare to against their competitors on a like-by-like basis. This is a common problem faced by all regulated industries but is a particular challenge for hard to abate sectors like aluminium, steel, or nitrogen. Given the scale and complexity of the challenge, hard to abate industries need to get their data to relay a complex message to investors, buyers, suppliers, governments, and other stakeholders. The pressure put on supplies of energy commodities by the Ukraine war has added to the pressure. At the same time, the data must be trusted if it is to be used. GHG emissions have been arguably easy to standardise and build trust in, but other dimensions of sustainability are also important: can we shut our eyes to them just because they are hard to measure? In this webinar, Charlie Durant from CRU, Chris Bayliss from the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative, and Bruce Always from Refinitiv will get together with Lavan Mahadeva from CRU to explain why we need to get behind all efforts to standardise and build trust in the data, and to illustrate the power of good ESG data.
