Institutions and financial professionals around the world are increasingly factoring in environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities to their decision making process, reflecting a view that companies with sustainable practices may generate stronger returns. ICE has a range of ESG data and tools to help you gain transparency into the impact of key ESG issues, uncover opportunities and manage risk.

Regulators are increasingly focusing on ESG data disclosures and standardization to better monitor progression towards strategic environmental objectives in particular, and to channel investment towards sustainable products and projects. The intent is to provide transparency into how companies are transitioning their activities towards more sustainable processes, while providing greater conformity of corporate-level ESG indicators so they can be more easily compared based on their sustainability behaviour.
