October 13, 2022 – The ESG movement has grown across most industries and sectors. Capital market firms have come under the spotlight in many jurisdictions in this steering effort. Yet, policy goals and benchmarking sustainability efforts become difficult without widespread and consistent data, and the pace, progress, and consistency of implementation of standards have been slow.
This Impact Report features Aite-Novarica Group research on the development of sustainability frameworks and ESG-related disclosures in the U.S. and EU. It is based on Aite-Novarica Group’s survey and interviews with capital market participants, mainly buy-side market participants, on the best approach to ground corporate disclosure and expected success and challenges. It includes a deeper dive into emission-related disclosures.
This 38-page Impact Report contains 14 figures and two tables. Clients of Aite-Novarica Group’s Capital Markets service can download this report and the corresponding charts.
