Challenges with ESG metrics and data

In our 2022 Perpetua 3rd Annual Stewardship Report, released in 2023, we highlighted the conundrum faced by the asset management industry in substantiating and quantitatively attributing that ESG strategies can and do provide long-termvalue. The most prominent reason for this, we noted previously, is the current lack of widely consistent and reliabledatasets. In this article we provide more insight into the data dilemmas, by identifying seven current challenges investors typically face when using ESG metrics and data.
