The sustainable investment data landscape is fragmented and ever-changing, and it’s a challenge for investors to efficiently manage their data and comply with evolving regulatory requirements. Globally, ESG and sustainability considerations continue to influence operational objectives of institutional investors, their clients and regulators. To satisfy the complex demands of various stakeholders, investors require vast volumes of sustainable investment data from multiple providers, as well as advanced capabilities to achieve their desired outcomes.

Factors shaping the sustainable investment data landscape

Investors continue to face complex challenges with sustainable investment data.

To understand the scope of the ESG and sustainable investment data challenge facing asset managers and asset owners, let’s look at each of these in turn.


Over the past decade, worldwide sustainability regulations in finance have increased by 155%.1 This includes the European Union’s new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) law that took effect in January 2023, which will affect reporting beginning this year. Aimed at driving change in the business behavior of companies operating in the European Union, it includes US companies with EU subsidiaries that meet certain criteria and is not limited to publicly-traded companies. Twelve new European Sustainability Standards (ESRS) under CSRD will require comprehensive and granular disclosures across all sustainability topics,2 and it is expected that 10,000 non-EU businesses, including 3,000 US companies, will be affected by CSRD reporting requirements in 2024.3

Globally, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) issued inaugural voluntary global sustainability disclosure standards in 2023. Multiple jurisdictions have expressed their intent to adopt these standards into national law, including Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Singapore, and the UK, among others.4

In the US, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s 2024 regulatory agenda includes the finalization of its promised climate disclosure regulation and updates to the names rule to include sustainable investing terms, as well as other ESG-related proposed rulemaking. In California, climate-related disclosure laws passed in 2023 begin taking effect this year, continuing through 2026.5 ‘Greenwashing,’ or a lack of transparency in sustainability reporting, continues to be a concern for both regulators and investors.

In complying with individual regulations, institutional investors face a bewildering array of requirements across jurisdictions. With more than 600 sustainable investment reporting standards in use today6, the need for harmonization or a more unified reporting methodology is becoming more apparent. Given the variability and complexity of regulation, investors rely on multiple sources of data to comply with existing requirements.


The volume of ESG and sustainable investment data continues to proliferate as reporting standards expand, making it difficult to manage efficiently. Asset managers are the heaviest spenders on sustainable investment data, representing 59% of all buyers, followed by insurers and other institutional investors.7 Two years ago, institutional investors were spending an average of $1.3 MM annually just to collect, analyze and report climate data to inform their investment decisions.8

To obtain the different data sets they use, investors are relying on multiple data providers – a costly proposition that adds more contradictory, unstructured and fragmented data to the mix. Worse, it creates an even higher cost base, since in-house reconciliation and analysis is needed to rationalize and curate the data into a usable state.
With data that is often unstandardized and delivered in different formats – such as unconnected software applications, APIs and even spreadsheets – it is a daunting, resource intensive, and costly task.

The current state of play

As asset managers and asset owners look to integrate sustainable investment data into their investment strategies to meet end investors’ demands and evolving regulatory and reporting requirements, they face some common challenges.

Institutional investors typically take one of two approaches to managing their sustainable investment data and generating insights. Some may rely on the data purchased and received from third-party vendors, which can have inconsistent disclosures in terms of information and reporting.

Others choose to cleanse data in house, hiring data scientists to perform analyses and to manually clean data from their multiple sources. This approach is not only time-consuming and resource-intensive, but it also adds onto the already high cost of procuring the data in the first place.

Furthermore, it creates new risk from having to handle ad-hoc structural and schema changes by data vendors. As investors note in different industry surveys, both options are problematic.

So, what’s an investor to do?

Investors are looking to technologies like the cloud and AI to power advanced analytics and cope with massive amounts of sustainable investment data. Cloud technology can handle vast volumes of data, providing the ability to scale quickly without increased operational costs. AI can accelerate analysis, but only if the underlying data is reliable.

As has been shown time after time, technology alone won’t solve data problems: outcomes are only as good as the data that feeds the technology. Instead, investors can establish a scalable and solid data foundation that will support analytics and operations today, enable cloud-based efficiency and scalability, and fuel AI-driven solutions.

Consistency in data and smoothly integrated analytics will allow institutional investors to meet regulatory and end-investor expectations. More importantly, it will enable them to capitalize on the sustainable investment evolution to capture operational efficiencies and improve decision making.

A sustainable investment data solution needs to solve the critical data issues faced by investors today: easily sourcing data from multiple providers, getting data into a consistent state for analysis, applying proprietary lenses into data to solve for corporate hierarchy nuances, and developing multiple screening rules and custom calculations to solve for the most complex use cases.

To make faster, more effective investment decisions, asset managers and asset owners benefit from access to clean data, with tools to ensure strong data governance, all accessible via modern channels.
