Undersøgelsen konkluderer også, at 18 procent af respondenterne forventer at øge investeringer i ESG med 50% eller mere i forhold til sidste år, samt at det for størstedelen af respondenterne er datakvalitet, som er den vigtigste faktor.
Leila Sadiq, Global Head of Enterprise Data Content hos Bloomberg, udtaler: “Once categorized as an alternative data source, ESG data has quickly become integral to the value financial firms deliver to their clients. Executives are making significant strategic investments in ESG data acquisition and management to differentiate themselves and meet client and regulatory demand.”
Don Huff, Global Head of Client Services and Operations hos Bloomberg Data Management Services, tilføjer: “As this research confirms, our customers are grappling with the challenge of integrating large volumes of ESG data from multiple sources and the lack of consistency between vendors can lead to data quality issues and operational disruptions.”
