IA Engine TechTalk: The ESG Agenda, The Technology Landscape, Data Challenges and Solutions

Conducting business sustainably and investing responsibly is a focused industry priority. We are all on a journey to incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles into our core corporate purpose & strategy. We all have a responsibility to lead on climate change, to support a transition in how we do business in the future.

Clients expect an approach that explicitly acknowledges ESG factors at the core of how they & their providers deliver sustainable objectives. There are many associated opportunities and challenges facing investment management for consideration as we seek to develop effective ecosystems.

Accelerating innovation to help scale up climate change solutions, source trusted data and establish global partnerships is more important than ever in supporting transitions to net zero.
The power of data, demand for transparency & forward thinking technologies are making a positive contribution to more informed investment decisions, reduced risks, optimised connectivity, cost management & how we evolve effective ecosystems.
