Amicorp Launches New ESG Services to Support Investors and Businesses
Amicorp has launched a new service line to help investors and businesses analyze, report, and develop their Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) performance levels – and address mounting regulatory requirements.
The new Amicorp ESG Services come at a time when financial markets participants within the European Union – including asset managers, private equity and venture capital funds, banks, and institutional investors – are required under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (“SFDR”) to report their sustainable economic activities annually.
Large and listed businesses operating within the EU now face similar mandatory reporting demands as part of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (“CSRD”), as do those in India under the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (“BRSR”) framework introduced by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”), and issuers in specified sectors in Singapore – with more sectors anticipated to be included next year. Other regulatory authorities globally are also exploring ESG frameworks and standards, expected to implement similar requirements in the future.
Amicorp ESG Services are designed to assist asset and fund managers, institutional investors, and businesses in swiftly complying with these tightening regulations. They also provide the necessary support and insights to develop an ESG strategy aligned with their goals and values, including those not currently bound by mandatory reporting requirements.
Many businesses are prioritizing ESG commitments not only due to regulatory pressures but also to enhance their reputation among customers, investors, and employees, and to achieve financial benefits through operational cost savings and energy efficiency improvements.
Our platform, powered by a leading credit and business information company, comprehensively analyzes all required data points – including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emission levels – and generates an independent and auditable ESG Report. This report can be shared with regulators, stakeholders, and shareholders. Additionally, it provides an ESG Rating and a light Gap Analysis using the latest industry benchmarks to identify areas for improvement.
Moreover, our consultancy service collaborates with businesses to plan, develop, and execute an ESG strategy tailored to their objectives. Our consultants can:
- Diagnose your current ESG positioning and create an action plan to achieve short and long-term goals
- Draft ESG policies and foster engagement among internal and external stakeholders
- Identify and manage appropriate ESG-related initiatives to support your aspirations – including options available through our Amicorp Community Foundation
