European Centre for Digital Regulation Pérez-Llorca/Universidad Carlos III: Sustainability Intelligence and the Governance of Sustainability Data: Companies, Users and Providers

Data is the lever to the sustainability transition, but it is a malfunctioning lever. This event seeks to explain why and suggest possible ways forward. Bringing together the key sustainability data product providers, users and regulators, this one-day event will cover the life cycle of sustainability data, identify the key market players and services, recognise their gatekeeping role, and assess the role of regulation in providing certainty, enabling data circulation and transparency, and ensuring accountability.
