Nasdaq Launches ESG Data Hub to Offer Investors Expert-led
Sustainability Data
Nasdaq (Nasdaq: NDAQ) today announced the launch of ESG Data Hub,
the latest expansion of Nasdaq's growing suite of products aiming
to support investors in their sustainable investment decisions. The
new platform connects investors with expert-led ESG (Environmental,
Social and Governance) data sets from leading providers across a
wide spectrum of areas, including gender diversity, carbon
emissions and climate risk, providing detailed and tangible
intelligence on companies’ ESG profiles.
Through ESG Data Hub, investors are provided with seamless,
consolidated access to information through a single interface. To
support transparency and global comparability, all data available
in the platform is connected to the Sustainable Development Goals
set out by the United Nations. To optimize data quality, Nasdaq has
worked with industry leaders within a wide range of categories
across the ESG scope.
Data from the following partners are available through ESG Data
Hub: Equileap (Gender equality), Ecogain (Biodiversity), RepRisk
(Reputational risk), Munich Re (Climate risk), Inrate (Carbon
emissions), Upright Project (Net impact) and Clean Tech (Renewable
technology).
“This launch reflects a growing interest in ESG data from
investors. We are very proud to partner with Nasdaq and provide
reliable gender equality data on their new platform,” said Diana
van Maasdijk, CEO at Equileap. “We know for a fact that companies
with a more diverse leadership perform better and are more
sustainable. Equileap's gender diversity data helps investors make
a difference and a return."
Additional data partners will be added continuously. In
addition, data from Nasdaq's proprietary data service Nasdaq
Sustainable Bond Network will be available through ESG Data
Hub.
“Nasdaq ESG Data Hub responds to the growing demand for more
specialized and high-quality data, helping investors to make more
intelligent and well-founded investment decisions,” said James
McKeone, VP, Head of European Data at Nasdaq. “Together with our
clients and data partners globally, I look forward to continuing
building ESG Data Hub, the latest addition to Nasdaq's growing
suite of products and services supporting sustainable and inclusive
capitalism.”
The ESG Data Hub and its partner content is available from today
to all investors. For more information, including a full list of

With the goal to create more sustainable markets everywhere and
advance sustainable business practices, Nasdaq's ESG solutions help
companies and investors translate purpose into action. The company
engages with corporate clients, investors, regulators, influencers,
