Artificial Intelligence is already transforming ESG investing through unlocking new capabilities to improve accuracy, deliver efficiencies and harness organisational talent.
Use cases include climate scenario modelling, automated ESG data collection and analysis, scoring and benchmarking, sustainability reporting, supply chain management and capital allocation.
