# 52 More intelligible ESG Data

New Ventures Podcast

Michael Poisson helps us understand the types of companies in the crowded ESG scoring industry. The industry is very crowded with various types of companies offering different data products based on the customer needs. Incoming regulations will lead to standardised products. Companies use broadly two types of approaches. One way is to make sense of publicly available data and the other is to use technology such as artificial intelligence and quantitative modelling. To some extent, these approaches are merging not least because all publicly available

information cannot be believed.

I host this podcast with Michael Poisson, Managing Director of IdealRatings which has the world’s largest database of ESG scores of public companies with my co-host Raven McMenemie of Eden Smith Group, a specialist data staffing and consulting business.

Sections Section 1: First 20 minutes about the ESG industry and ongoing trends
