ESG assets are on track to exceed $53 trillion by 2025 – one third of global AUM – as investors direct an increasing share of capital to companies and products with strong environmental, social and governance credentials. While the potential of sustainable investing is clear, ‘greenwashing’ and a lack of reliable ESG data have hampered trust in the market, even as assets have soared. Having a trusted and transparent partner on this ESG journey is paramount to success.
In the past few years Bloomberg has been leveraging its huge corporate and reference data pools to spin off a number of sustainability-related products.
“We would like to be a system of choice, where our clients can find all the information that they need from an ESG perspective, and be able to integrate ESG in the overall narrative of a particular company,” says Patricia Torres, Bloomberg’s Global Head of Sustainable Finance Solutions. “We are incorporating ESG scores and data from multiple sources, so people can look at ESG holistically, in combination – and integrated – with other data factors.”
Bloomberg sits at the forefront of the ever-changing ESG space, taking our established methodologies for extracting and displaying transparent market information, and applying them to metrics, indices and analysis on ESG factors. This continuously updated digest brings together a selection of the ESG research, contextual analysis, and news that Bloomberg Terminal subscribers receive via Bloomberg News, Bloomberg Intelligence and BloombergNEF.
