ESG Working Group - June 2023 update
Don Sharp from Citi shared the following update on the ESG Working Group at the June 2023 RIXML all-member meeting. The slides accompanying this update can be found here.
The ESG Working Group has been meeting to identify ways to enhance the RIXML standards to make ESG tagging more relevant and meaningful. This means ensuring that the standards allow:
- producers to apply more accurate and meaningful ESG-related descriptions of the content they produce.
- vendors to develop tools to better aggregate and organize content.
- consumers to find the ESG-related content they are looking for – when searching and via alerts – whether they are accessing the content via subscriptions, push distribution, aggregators, or portals.
The seven meetings this group have had thus far have had emphasis on the following:
- looking at use cases – what type of reports are being produced, and what is on the horizon.
- investigating which of the current taxonomies are gaining traction, and which best suit the needs of our content.
- discussing the Scoring landscape, and determining whether that is sufficiently developed for us to include tagging for it in the v3.0 standard.
Planning for RIXML v3.0 – and beyond
