The new one-click ESG functionality now available from ASSET4 allows users to generate easy-to-read analysis and benchmarking reports on the ESG performance of a company against its peers based on 90 customisable KPIs with a single click of the mouse.

The assetmasterProfessional™ news functionality announced today enables users to dynamically monitor the news flow for any or all of the eighteen data categories within the system, such as emission reduction, human rights and health & safety. These criteria can be monitored for a single company, portfolio, sector or geographic region.

“ESG factors have now clearly become a mainstream concern for the financial community and the corporate world as a whole. Therefore, we realised that it was necessary to make this information more dynamic and easier to use, which is why we announced the one-click ESG and ESG news tracking capabilities today,” said Peter Ohnemus, ASSET4 CEO and President. “Having the ability to create a one-click ESG view of key KPIs enables clients to efficiently monitor the issues affecting them. assetmasterProfessional™ users can still view the complete range of data points and KPIs that we maintain on our universe of companies, but the one-click ESG functionality will provide a new way of visualising and understanding this at times complex information. The importance of the news functionality comes from the fact that while a company’s ESG performance is clearly based on long-term and strategic management decisions, day-to-day events also play an important part in valuation and reputation. Having the ability to dynamically monitor events based on very specific ESG criteria allows our users to stay ahead of the game in their analysis.”
