We leverage additional sustainable investing resources within our individual investment, marketing, and reporting teams, who devote more than 30% of their time to sustainable investing.

Sustainability Data Platform

Sustainable investing requires tools to measure, manage, and disclose the challenges and opportunities within an investment portfolio.

Our sustainability data and research platform includes more than 50 data sets from 10 data providers, leveraging thematic information from leading third-party vendors. These data cover a range of matters including sustainability ratings and scores, thematic sustainability topics like climate (e.g., carbon emissions, fossil fuel reserves, brown and green revenues, physical and transition risk, climate value at risk), corporate governance, controversies, product involvement, and impact.

Our multi-source data architecture, combined with our proprietary sustainability insights, provides us with the expertise and flexibility needed for data collection and integration. We utilise a variety of data sources and metrics to manage investment solutions tailored to the unique needs of our clients.
