INTRODUCING THE ROLE
The ESG Controller

A new role is emerging at the intersection of:

ESG
Finance
Risk
Governance

Responsible for:

ESG data integrity
Internal controls
Financial integration
Assurance readiness

In many organisations, this role is not yet formally defined — but the responsibilities already exist, often fragmented across teams. The ESG Controller brings structure, ownership, and accountability to these critical areas, ensuring that sustainability information is reliable, consistent, and aligned with financial realities.

This session will help you understand why this role matters now.
