Creating ESG Risk Score for Supplier Management
Speaker:
Jonathan Yan, Ph.D., Senior Director, Data Science
Dun & Bradstreet
Abstract:
ESG in supplier management has in recent years become a topic ever significant. Supplier ESG risk scores (Environmental, Social and Governance) would facilitate businesses in making decisions on screening, compliance, due diligence, and other efforts.
Data is critical for such an ESG score. Based on data points from Dun & Bradstreet, the world's largest business information supplier, together with data from government and NGO sources, other public clouds, global news, as well as web-scraping of company websites, the world’s largest ESG scoring system was created that assigns ESG risk scores to suppliers globally.
The audience will be led through details of ESG themes and their assessments, analytics methodology, ESG score performance, and business applications with this ESG scoring system in supplier management.
