Data Provenance Part 1: Asset Grade Data

Alternative data represents information captured from any part of an organization, outside of traditional reporting metrics, that has implications for stakeholder decision making. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data are some of the most frequently cited forms of alternative data. Prominent organizations and investors race to meet the demands of increasing global pressure to prove the sustainability of their operations. Yet, they all continue to struggle with ESG data standardization, asset sourcing, and a noisy marketplace. With hundreds of data insights highlighting any number of different metrics and frameworks, investors can be left guessing as to which ESG-related questions they need to answer, what data insights provide them with the best answers, and where to source all of this data.[1] With so much uncertainty in an already ill-defined space, investors must know they can trust data to support decision making.
