Weathering the storm of ESG complexity by leveraging AI

whitePaper | October 6, 2021

ESG investing has grown exponentially in the last decade and is estimated to be somewhere between 35.31 to 40.52 trillion USD (according to the GSIA, 2021, and OPIMAS, 2020).

Other regions are slowing down their rate of growth or have seen a reported reversal – in particular Europe and Australasia.
