Harnessing the Power of Data for ESG Investing

As the demand for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals continues to increase, asset managers are adapting their investment procedures. The shift is driven by both consumer expectations and strict governmental regulations.

To make successful ESG investment decisions, it is necessary to identify, extract, and combine granular data accurately. This requires access to high-quality and reliable data that is both quantitative and qualitative. Prioritizing data integrity is crucial for firms to move quickly, remain compliant, and demonstrate their commitment to responsible investment initiatives.

In this webinar, Zi Abraham of Verrazano Consulting Solutions LLC and Dr. Hossein Kazemi of the FDP Institute discussed the significance of ESG data, data providers, and potential data challenges. Together we explored if AI can help bridge data gaps, overcome obstacles, and scale ESG data integration.
