How should SFDR and CSRD compliance be brought into the operating model?

Ideally ESG solutions will be capture CSRD and SFDR information as part of the customer due diligence process. Typically middle office teams are empowered to do much of the data gathering, with specialist areas and clients escalated to expert SMEs.

Using ESG rating providers

There are a huge number of ESG ratings providers in the market, with various methods of calculating their proprietary scores. This ranges from analysing public available information, to assessing news reports about firms, all the way to parsing social media mentions to determine user sentiment.
The challenge with the market is that there is a huge variety in ESG scores - what might be a 30 in one solution will be 80 in another ESG solution. The best practice for ESG in banking is to bring the ratings in-house, and to calculate a score based on hard data that is traceable.Rating models can also be personalised to the Financial Institution’s own risk appetite and world view.
