Delivering a Sustainable Solution for ESG Data Management
The Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) landscape is evolving, with the emergence of a more complete set of principles, ethics, and ESG reporting standards. With so many standards, disclosures, and rating methods, alongside new data sources required, ESG initiatives cut across a company and require high-level control combined with an understanding of how ESG data requirements intersect.
Meeting the requirements of ESG compliance marks a commitment to building a more sustainable organization and ultimately a climate-positive company. This leads to more investment and a competitive edge in a world where heavy penalties will be placed on businesses that do not meet rigorous ecological impact assessments.
Solidatus’ ground-breaking lineage-first approach brings together ESG principles, company priorities, assessment methodologies, and data sources and metrics to give a full end-to-end picture of the impact of ESG management initiatives.
Practical Data Strategies for Meeting ESG Compliance Obligations in Financial Services
In this ESG whitepaper, we explore best practices for developing an internal framework to identify people and teams responsible for meeting ESG obligations; interpretation of rules and regulations to define the obligation; and defining the deliverables to meet the obligation. This is why ESG is important for companies to consider.
As of March 2021, the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) requires mandatory Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure obligations for asset managers and other financial markets participants (FMPs) for the first time. This means that companies must be ESG compliant in their reporting.
Our sophisticated integration capabilities are used to relate metrics to data flows through the company, both to understand where existing data can be used and to identify and plan for additional sources.
The result is a live map of ESG initiatives, showing how ESG aims translate through to delivery providing assessment bodies with every piece of the puzzle.

ESG Frequently Asked Questions
What is ESG?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. These three broad categories measure the sustainability and societal impact of an organization. They are important factors for investors, stakeholders, and consumers when evaluating a company’s practices and performance.
What is ESG Data?
ESG data refers to the specific metrics that organizations use to quantify their performance in the Environmental, Social, and Governance areas. This can include data on carbon emissions, labor practices, board diversity, and more. ESG data management involves gathering, analyzing, and reporting on these metrics.
Why is ESG Important?
ESG is important because it allows companies to demonstrate their commitment to sustainable and ethical practices. It also helps investors and stakeholders assess potential risks and opportunities. Being ESG compliant can improve a company’s reputation, attract investment, and drive long-term growth.
What are ESG Reporting Standards?
ESG reporting standards are guidelines that help organizations report on their ESG performance in a consistent and transparent way. These standards can vary, but they generally include reporting on environmental impact, social responsibility, and governance practices. There are several different reporting frameworks, standards, and ratings that organizations can use to report their ESG performance.
Some of the key ESG reporting frameworks and standards include the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). These frameworks and standards provide principles-based guidance on how information is structured, how it is prepared, and what broad topics are covered. They facilitate the disclosure of comparable, consistent, and reliable sustainability-related information.
Recently, there have been several significant changes in the ESG reporting landscape. In 2021, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) was announced at the COP26 climate conference by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation. The ISSB is expected to set sustainability disclosure standards that are shareholder-focused and industry-specific. The new international standards will build upon existing ESG standards and frameworks.
