ESG or Sustainability reporting

Read our guidance if you are collecting personal data as part of monitoring environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors.
This guidance is for organisations that collect personal data as part of monitoring their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. It is intended to help you understand how these interact with the legal obligations contained in The Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017 (‘the Law’).

The Law exists to protect individuals’ rights over their personal data (facts or opinions about or related to them). The Law contains seven principles that all local organisations are legally obliged to adhere to whenever personal data is involved.

The three key aspects you should consider at the outset with regard to ESG reporting are: data collection, risk to individuals, and public disclosure of data.
