Building on the increasing significance of reputational risks in the investment landscape around ESG matters, Manaos, a subsidiary of BNP Paribas and modular investment service platform, is delighted to announce its partnership with RepRisk, a data science company that provides transparency on business conduct risks.
By integrating RepRisk’s dataset which is generated combining human intelligence and cutting-edge AI, Manaos clients are now fully equipped with robust information enabling decision-useful insights on public companies. The data is based on a transparent methodology and mapped to more than 100 ESG risk factors and international ESG and regulatory frameworks, including the SDGs, UN Global Compact, SASB, and SFDR. This comprehensive approach empowers investors to gauge risks effectively and mitigate potential adverse reputational and financial impacts, as well as align their investments with sustainability objectives.
“With growing concerns around reputation management in the investment space, investors have long awaited a pure-player in this field of expertise,” says Franck Delbes, CEO of Manaos. “RepRisk is a vital building block for our 360 ESG offering and marketplace approach.”
“Investors and asset managers are increasingly seeking more robust, risk-focused data that goes beyond quarterly updates and self-disclosures. With our data, they can feel confident in the investment decisions they make,” comments Jenny Nordby, Head of Business Development at RepRisk. “Our partnership with Manaos enables clients with portfolio look-through, coupled with enhanced reporting capabilities.”
RepRisk data is accessible either through Manaos as a standalone-solution (Shop Licence On Manaos) or as a connecting block (Bring Your Own Licence), and contributes to an ever-growing offering of over 20 sustainability partners to choose from. Manaos’ investment services marketplace enables investors to connect portfolio data with asset managers’ fund inventories and ESG providers in a seamless and cost-efficient way to fulfil numerous use cases, including fund look-through, ESG data enrichment, and ESG reporting.
