ESG Assessment – Growing Challenges in the Financial Sector 

The financial sector faces growing challenges in collecting, sharing, and analysing ESG data:

Stricter Regulations Make Compliance More Complex and Costly 

European Union sustainability regulations like CSRD, SFDR, the EU Taxonomy, MiFID II, and the upcoming CSDDD introduce numerous challenges: 

  • A growing need for more detailed and frequent ESG reporting. 
  • Monitoring KPIs and proving compliance are becoming more complex and time-consuming.
  • Inaccurate self-assessments heighten the risk of errors and non-compliance. 

Manual Data Processing Slows Down Operations and Reduces Decision Quality 

Managing ESG data manually creates significant challenges: 

  • Filling out ESG questionnaires manually is slow and inefficient, especially for large portfolios. 
  • Admin and technical challenges drive up costs and risks.

Lack of Suitable Technological Solutions Makes ESG Compliance Expensive and Complex 

Without the right tools, ensuring ESG compliance becomes a significant burden: 

  • Developing and maintaining APIs can cost €10,000–15,000 per connection. 
  • Growing regulatory demands require continuous updates and new data sources, driving up maintenance costs. 
  • Manual work is inconvenient for clients, drains company resources, and negatively impacts decision accuracy and speed.
  • Fragmented workflows slow down processes and increase the risk of compliance failures and system interruptions. 
  • Unstructured and unvalidated responses slow down workflows and increase the risk of errors.

The platform includes all necessary data for environmental impact assessment, such as energy consumption and greenhouse gas calculations. It also enables evaluation of physical risks like climate-related impacts on company assets and incorporates key indicators for assessing social responsibility and corporate governance.
