The Sovereign ESG Data Portal aims to improve the quality, scope, transparency and timeliness of publicly available ESG data, to support growing efforts by the financial sector to improve the sustainability of their investments. The framework incorporates 67 indicators that address all 17 SDGs. New indicators on natural capital, human capital, poverty measures, stranded assets and other areas are set to be developed and added to the portal in the future, including from geo-spatial and big data sources.
