Compass Insights has launched a platform designed to allow asset owners to coordinate their investments and stewardship efforts.

The platform – called SaaS platform – centralises ESG data management and analysis, providing users with data that helps support decision-making, including fund monitoring, stewardship, and reporting. The firm suggests that streamlining these processes allows responsible investment teams to “amplify their voice and impact as stewards of capital.”

This comes as ShareAction’s latest research highlighted gaps in asset manager voting patterns, suggesting manager accountability has never been more critical. The platform has been specifically designed to help investors implement ongoing stewardship by helping to track progress and ensure manager accountability.

Gustave Loriot-Boserup, founder and chief executive of Compass Insights, said: “One year ago, when launching Compass Insights, our vision was to build the next-generation responsible investment operating system, moving beyond traditional platforms.

“We wanted to empower ESG teams to focus on what truly matters: proactively drive their sustainability and stewardship objectives. After a year of development, we’ve achieved just that – now running pilots with some of the leading asset owners in the responsible investment space.”
