ESGFinTech100

The world’s most innovative ESG tech companies that every financial institution needs to know about in 2023

About the List

The ESGFinTech100 is an annual list of 100 of the world’s most innovative ESG companies offering solutions for the financial services industry selected by a panel of industry experts and analysts. These are the companies every financial institution needs to know about as they consider and develop their ESG assessment and performance improvement strategies.

Last year’s ESGFinTech100 list received widespread attention. Companies that won places on it generated huge awareness among financial services organisations and the wider ESG community. Many were approached directly by financial institutions while others got a more welcome reception from prospective clients and partners.

Following the success of the prior rankings, the selection process for the ESGFinTech100 for 2023 is now open. The list will help senior management and ESG & Sustainability professionals evaluate which technologies and digital tools have market potential and are most effective in meeting ESG objectives.
