Swiss financial data expert SIX has partnered with Sustainalytics to provide ESG data to its broad customer base of SIX for them to comply with new EU sustainability regulations.
Sustainalytics is the first third-party specialist ESG data provider that SIX has onboarded to its distribution channels.
Sustainalytics is a Morningstar company and a global provider of ESG research, ratings and data. On the basis of its data, SIX is now providing extensive ESG data sets for EU Taxonomy and the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), which support its clients, such as banks and asset managers, with their disclosure obligations and more.
The core of the SFDR data set is Principal Adverse Impact information. Additionally, SIX now offers Sustainalytics’ ESG Risk Ratings, which help firms to make more informed investment decisions and provide advice for end-clients. These ESG Risk Ratings measure a company’s exposure to industry-specific material ESG risks and how well a company is managing those risks.
