Smartkarma Webinar | Conquering the Age-Old "ESG Data Problem"

For our next Webinar, we have the pleasure of welcoming back Insight Provider Kyle Rudden, for the fourth session in his ESG Webinar Series, organised in collaboration with SGX (SGX SP).

In this session, Kyle Rudden will go over the importance, ecosystem, and problems around ESG data. A critical component of generating ESG Alpha, ESG data is inherently flawed, but quality and availability is improving as investor demand and regulations drive changes. Kyle will use hands-on examples of ESG data and information sources, and explore third-party products, stock exchanges, and OSINT/alt-data.

Kyle Rudden is an ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) analyst with an alpha-centric approach to ESG research. After all, ESG investing is, first and foremost, investing. "Alpha-centric" does not mean apathetic, however. Quite the contrary. Kyle believes global sustainability – i.e., environmental stewardship, social equality, and economic prosperity – is imperative, and private-sector capital is its cornerstone. Private-sector capital still has fiduciary responsibilities. Profitability is necessary for sustained impact. The Triple Bottom Line. People, Planet, AND Profit.
