As utilities respond to New York's Part 253 Mandatory GHG Reporting Rule, many are discovering that compliance is only part of the challenge. New reporting requirements are exposing broader issues across fragmented systems, disconnected data environments, manual processes and increasing operational complexity. Join Cognizant and ERM for an executive discussion exploring how forward-thinking utilities are using this moment to build stronger digital foundations that support regulatory readiness, operational efficiency and long-term business value. The session will examine how organizations can move beyond reactive compliance approaches by creating trusted, audit-ready data environments that improve transparency, governance and executive decision-making. Through peer discussion and expert perspectives, attendees will explore how utilities are: * Building audit-ready reporting capabilities * Modernizing utility data and operational architecture * Improving data governance, lineage and traceability * Streamlining compliance processes and workflows * Leveraging AI-enabled capabilities to improve reporting accuracy and operational efficiency The discussion will combine regulatory insight with practical lessons emerging from utility modernization and compliance transformation initiatives, providing actionable perspectives that attendees can take back to their organizations. At the heart of the conversation is a critical question facing utility leaders today: How can organizations use regulatory change as a catalyst for modernization, stronger governance and long-term business value?
