Think ESG: Meeting the ESG data needs of institutional investors

Institutional investors are increasingly using environmental, social and governance (ESG) information as an integrated feature of investment management. However, the nature of the available ESG information can pose significant problems, including data gaps, inconsistent approaches, and lack of depth and context, among others.
