The challenge of physical risks: how it forms an important aspect of ESG data
At BIQH, we regularly write about ESG data, management, and screening. This topic is crucial to us and our clients.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations have never been more important. Both investors and regulators now demand greater transparency and accountability. Whether you are a bank, broker, asset manager or insurer, you need to screen your investment universe using ESG factors that matter to all your stakeholders. But meeting these requirements brings a host of data challenges.
Our ESG screening combines internal and external data sources to assess each company’s sustainability practices. It delivers a structured and mapped integration of otherwise unrelated data, giving you accurate, actionable insights for informed decisions.
We offer customizable business rules that allow financial institutions to tailor the ESG evaluation to their specific needs and priorities. Use flexible business rules to tailor the ESG evaluation to your organisation’s needs. This ensures the screening process aligns with your investment strategy and long-term goals.
Apply ESG screening to externally managed portfolios, including mutual funds and ETFs. This helps reduce supply chain risks and ensures all partners meet your ESG standards.
The ESG Headache
Many financial institutions face what we call the “ESG screening headache”, the challenge of consolidating vast amounts of internal and external ESG data.
The process is often complex and prone to single points of failure, which can disrupt ESG assessments and increase operational risk.
The BIQH ESG Screening Platform tackles this challenge directly. By structuring and mapping all relevant ESG inputs, including exclusion lists, ratings and other essential data, the platform delivers a clear, actionable pass or no-pass outcome.
This not only improves reliability and accuracy, but also boosts efficiency across your screening process.

High costs and duplication: Manual tasks and duplicated data increase operational costs and reduce efficiency.
Lack of standardisation: Inconsistent data sources and formats make it hard to maintain accuracy and comparability.
Regulatory compliance: Constantly changing requirements call for adaptable, future-proof data solutions.
