What’s driving the growth?

The world is changing, creating new and emergent risks

Climate risks, regulatory pressures, social and demographic shifts as well as privacy and data security concerns are examples of new or increasing risks for investors. Companies face rising complexities and greater scrutiny if they are not adequately managing these risks. The financial
constraints posed by the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated the challenges for some industries. Today’s investors are less tolerant of ESG incidents or controversies and may re-evaluate their investment approaches if these are not managed.

A new generation of investors asking more of their investments

Over the next two to three decades, the millennial generation is expected to direct between $15 trillion and $20 trillion into U.S.-domiciled ESG investments, roughly doubling the size of the U.S. equity market.3 A growing body of research suggests that millennials are more conscious of the impact of their investments on society and the environment and are asking more of them.

Advances in technology and data extraction driving more meaningful insights

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology and alternative data extraction techniques help minimize our reliance on voluntary disclosure from companies. Machine
learning and natural language processing help us increase the timeliness and precision of data collection, validation and analysis to deliver dynamic content and financially relevant ESG insights.
