As financial services face growing regulatory pressures around Environmental, social, and governance (ESG), they need to ensure they can capture all the relevant data.

Just a few years ago, Environmental Social, and Governance (ESG) had a spike in hype and many investors and firms started to explore opportunities in the space. However, sentiment might be changing, particularly as new governments show scepticism towards space. How will this impact the future of the sector in 2025?

Forests are a major asset in the fight against climate change, with the ability to absorb and store gigatonnes of CO2. Despite this, forests are constantly cleared for timber, not only removing the ability to store CO2 but also releasing their stores back into the atmosphere.

Opinions on ESG can be quite divisive and some countries are looking to increase their focus on sustainability and equality, while others are looking to move away. With an evolving landscape, how optimistic are industry players for the success of the sector in 2025?

 The ESG FinTech market continues to grow and 2024 saw the adoption of major regulations, like CSRD, that have increased the pressures on firms. However, was it a good year for the sector?

As environmental, social and governance (ESG) continues to become more prominent in regulations, firms will need to ensure they have the capability to effectively and efficiently complete ESG reporting processes.

Carbon accounting is a method of calculating the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) an organisation emits, whether it is directly or indirectly. Through this, companies are better placed to understand the climate impact and establish goals on how they can reduce it. As the number of ESG regulations continues to increase, carbon accounting could become an increasingly vital part of meeting compliance.

While environmental, social, and governance (ESG) have quickly become important factors in discussions about innovation, is the sector growing quickly enough in the FinTech world?
