Victoria Riess at Handelsblatt ESG Reporting and Management 2026

From Data to Performance: Effectively Managing ESG

Less regulation does not mean less responsibility: As reporting requirements are being recalibrated, pressure is mounting on companies to provide robust ESG data — for banks, investors, and business partners. Sustainability is thus finally becoming a key performance metric.

Rethinking ESG: From Obligation to Performance

Companies that use ESG data strategically secure competitive advantages, improve their access to capital, and strengthen their credibility in the market. What matters most is not the quantity of data, but its quality, interoperability, and relevance to management.

The conference offers the interactive World Café workshop “Strengthening Relevance: Keeping ESG on the Agenda” with Victoria Riess on how to how to redefine ESG and keep it on the board agenda.

1. How can ESG be redefined — especially during economically challenging times — and effectively kept on the agenda of the board and management?
2. If ESG fails to demonstrate a clear contribution to resilience, competitiveness, and governance during economically difficult times, it will become a secondary issue on the board’s agenda.
