ESG Data & Disclosure

How investors are making sense of a crowded data landscape

Responsible Investor’s Data & Disclosure report explores some of the major dilemmas facing investors as they seek to plot their course to achieving net zero, contribute to other ESG goals, and comply with a growing body of regulation. With the much-discussed goal of standardising ESG data now at a critical crossroads, we look into the role of the ISSB in creating a global baseline. We also delve into some of the key climate metrics being used by investors, and ask how social data can be improved.

It’s easy to see why requests for more ESG data aren’t always popular. Corporates can frequently be heard complaining about the requests for data they receive from investors. Asset managers, in turn, are often unhappy with the demands of asset owners, as well as with the confusing or even contradictory data disclosure requirements being set by regulators. In this special report, we ask whether investors are drowning in too much ESG data – or whether they still lack the data they need.
