Can AI-Driven ESG Reporting Withstand Verification?

About This Event

Mobilityways is running a free online session on 19 November 2026 from 11:00 to 12:00 UTC examining whether AI-generated ESG reports can meet verification standards.

The format is a one-hour online seminar.The session covers how AI can streamline ESG data collection and reporting when used responsibly, what verifiers look for beyond the final report (including underlying systems, processes, policies and resources), the risks around accuracy, reliability and credibility, and why human oversight remains essential. It also addresses why verification matters as sustainability data and claims come under increasing scrutiny.This session is relevant to UK SMEs and sustainability leads who are considering or already using AI tools for ESG reporting. It provides practical insight into what third-party verifiers expect to see, helping organisations understand the gap between AI-generated outputs and verification-ready reports, and the controls needed to ensure their sustainability data stands up to external scrutiny.
