Working with ESG data is no longer optional.
Institutional Investor survey results indicate that financial institutions’ interest in Environmental, Social, and Governance issues has become nearly universal.
In response to these challenges, many large asset managers today use a variety of ESG data providers, brokers, and academic research feeds.
EY analysis of 62 of the largest asset managers worldwide shows that most asset managers use between 2 and 5 different providers and some even use up to 10 different third-party vendors to cover their ESG data needs.

In practice, financial institutions face numerous challenges working with ESG Data,
including:
Contradictory ESG ratings from different data providers
Conflicting ESG taxonomies
Lack of standards and adequate disclosure by issuers
Further, clients are cautious about the performance tradeoffs associated with ESG investing.
However, only the largest asset management firms can make the necessary investments in order to construct robust ESG Portfolios.
These investments include multiple datasets, data scientists, quantitative analysts, databases and technology infrastructure.
Many asset management firms can do better by outsourcing the construction of ESG portfolios (and/or overlays) to specialists.
