ESG EU 2022 Testimonial 3

Excellent content and insight from experts. Found this conference very useful to further building my own understanding. 

ESG EU 2022 Testimonial 2

It was great to attend an in-person event with business risk leaders. This allowed for a good consensus of opinion into the current thinking around climate risk and how businesses are embedding this into both ESG and wider sustainable thinking, as well as some great collaborative conversations via the networking sessions that were both insightful and constructive for future conversations. I look forward to attending the next event and recommending their US event to my international colleagues!

ESG EU 2022 Testimonial 1

As a professional actively working in the climate risk management space in financial services specifically, it was an incredibly well curated summit encompassing all the complicated components of E, S and G.  The panelists and speakers did a great job of bringing each component together despite the complexities that exist when trying to digest ESG as a whole. It was insightful to hear some very different perspectives and starting points in different firms' 'ESG' journeys. 

Understandably, privacy-enhancing technologies are often viewed exclusively as a privacy tool. This panel will discuss whether this is too narrow an assessment that fails to account for the role PETs can play in both the development and maintenance of an agile and innovative data strategy.

  • Bridging the perceived divide between privacy and data teams
  • Assessing whether PETs can be used as a foundational tool for a variety of different purposes
  • PETs as a means to achieve data protection by design and default

With a litany of technologies available, it is not enough to just identify potential use cases- it is vital to then apply the right technology or combination of technologies to the build a solution. This panel will discuss how to achieve the right mix and which challenges will be encountered along the way.

  • Collaborating with data science teams to ensure the technology delivers as promised and is stress tested in a variety of situations
  • Understanding what vendor offerings look like and effectively determining which potential provider is most appropriate
  • Discussing who needs to know what when it comes to the technical capability of PETs vs their business potential.

She is fluent in 6 languages, including her mother-tongue Russian, Spanish, Polish, English, Portuguese and French.

Restrictions on data usage and transfer vary significantly across the globe. Notable examples such as GDPR and CCPA garner headlines, but as efforts to regulate privacy proliferate globally organisations must adhere to an ever more fragmented series of rules. Could PETs help solve that challenge?

  • Determining what cross-border PET implementation looks like in practice
  • Understanding the regulatory perspective on PETs as a tool to build compliance for data in transit and use across borders
  • Understanding the necessary considerations to be made when forming both internal cross-border data sharing practices and external data sharing initiatives

Dr. June Brawner

Senior Policy Adviser for Data and Digital Technologies
The Royal Society

Dr. June Brawner is a policy advisor at The Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences. She leads the Society’s work on Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) within the Data and AI policy team, which is developing policy and promoting debate that helps the UK safely and rapidly realise the growing benefits of data science and digital technologies.

June’s career in academic and policy research spans the US, UK, and Central / Eastern Europe, with a focus on environmental data for policymaking.  Prior to her current role she worked as a research consultant and has previously completed fellowships with the Fulbright Commission and Columbia University’s Council for European Studies.

As an anthropologist, June is especially interested in the ‘social life’ of data: the cultural and political factors that hinder or promote the equitable use of data for research, innovation, and decision-making. To this end, she sees upholding the right to privacy as a key technical and social challenge in using data for societal benefit.

Privacy- enhancing technologies have been demonstrated as technically effective- but that is not enough. Their implementation requires resource allocation, both in terms of acquiring the technology and subsequently monitoring it.

  • Establishing how PETs can deliver additional business value through unlocking previously inaccessible data
  • Practical first-hand examples successfully identifying relevant use cases, establishing proof of concept and seeing tangible return upon implementation
  • Learning how to quantifiably measure that return over time and assess the need for potential amendments or new areas of application
