Few issues are as complex and rapidly evolving as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) regulations. Off-the-shelf solutions may be rigid and lack the flexibility and nimbleness required to deliver evolving ESG requirements. KPMG sees an opportunity to leverage low-/no-code platforms as the way to accelerate delivery of ESG solutions and enable rapid iterations. Financial services companies are expected to track and comply with emerging regulations and incorporate ESG factors into investment and lending decisions. ESG risks and opportunities also include a wide range of non- financial scoring categories to assess the impact of a company’s services and practices on the planet and society. Compounding the challenge are the recently proposed SEC rules that require certain climate-related information, beginning with 2023 fiscal data. Companies need to digitize the ESG operations ecosystem rapidly, while ensuring flexibility for evolving rules and regulations.

KPMG expertise in ESG strategy, regulations, and data, coupled with Unqork’s no-code application technology, helps financial services firms address a wide spectrum of their dynamic ESG needs. KPMG and Unqork can deliver benefits that are crucial to helping financial services rapidly respond to changing ESG regulations.
