We held two highly engaging theme sessions on July 11, 2024, focusing on biodiversity which is a growing theme within the sustainable investment agenda. The SDI AOP community meetings, with a global representation of subscribers, provide a platform to discuss the use of the SDI data, exchange ideas and share best practices, address challenges in implementation and foster collaboration among investors.
Ingesting and processing large quantities of data without the assistance of Artificial Intelligence, or, more specifically, Large Language Models, is all but impossible. The whitepaper looks at the implementation of AI in asset management and explains why SDI AOP uses ENTIS technology to extract data from company disclosures.
On 1 June we have released a new SDI Classification and SDI Innovation Outlook dataset. The key enhancements alongside this new release were advancement of product categories. In total 10,055 companies were assessed. It identifies 1,313 companies with more than 50% SDI aligned revenues, and 843 companies with 10-50% SDI aligned revenues.
After having built a coverage universe of over 10,000 companies that have issued public market instruments, SDI AOP has now started to make its classification structure available for private market investment classification. We are excited to announce the launch of the SDI Private Markets Membership.
We have asked Stephanie Kelly, Head of Greenwheel the sustainable thematic research team of Redwheel, why the SDI data is important to her organization and who’s using the data: "We use SDI AOP data for our sustainable investments at Redwheel because it aligns with our own core beliefs in transparency, rigour and speaking a common language for sustainable investing with asset owners".
With an emphasis on community and transparency, the use cases presented comprise success stories but also learning experiences that detail the journeys that peers have undertaken to integrate SDI in their approaches to responsible investment. Users can employ these first-hand accounts to share a common understanding of what SDI Data is and the various ways it has already been put into action with colleagues in their organisation.
