The big shift in ESG data analytics is from opaque ratings to key design principles for meeting regulatory demands and stakeholder expectations. My podcast guest today, Lise Pretorius, talks about ESG data’s influence amid the current industry backlash and sustainable investing’s potential to shape a future in financial markets focusing on accountability, trust, and meaningful impact. Pretorius is Chief Sustainability Analysis Officer at Matter, which provides ESG and sustainability data and analytics solutions to the investment industry.
