ESG Assessment – Growing Challenges in the Financial Sector 

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

Data availability is insufficient

Supervision of banks, portfolio risk assessment, and corporate market positioning in line with green strategies bring several challenges:

  • A growing need for increasingly detailed and frequent ESG reports – whether for supply chain transparency or for assessing the risk of financial institutions’ portfolios.
  • Tracking KPIs and proving compliance is becoming more complex and time-consuming.
  • Inaccurate and incomplete self-assessments increase the risk of errors and non-compliance.

Manual data processing slows down processes and reduces decision quality

Manual handling of ESG data creates several issues:

  • Filling out ESG questionnaires manually is slow and inefficient, especially for large portfolios.
  • Unstructured and unvalidated responses slow down workflows and increase the risk of errors.
  • Manual work drains resources and negatively impacts the accuracy and speed of decision-making.

Technical and administrative issues increase costs and risks

Without suitable technological solutions, ensuring ESG compliance becomes complex and costly:

  • Developing and maintaining APIs can cost €10,000–15,000 per connection.
  • Growing regulatory requirements mean continuous updates and the addition of new integrations, which drive up maintenance costs.
  • Fragmented workflows slow down processes and increase the risk of compliance failures and system interruptions.

We don’t just provide raw data — we consolidate it and extract valuable insights that offer context and support better decision-making; for example, the estimated greenhouse gas footprint of your company and its supply chain.

How Does It Work?

ESG Hub combines reliable data from Creditinfo, direct ESG data collection from companies via Esgrid, and ESG data from various sources. The result is a comprehensive and accurate ESG profile for each company.

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