Financial institutions face a structural crisis in sustainable investment as the reporting burden has grown

At the same time, regulators, LPs and boards demand faster, more auditable disclosures. The problem is not a lack of data, but the enormous manual effort required to turn it in its raw, fragmented form into governed, repeatable decisions.

It was in tackling this issue that Auquan's AI system Sustainability Agent helped it pick up the award for Data provider of the year – Americas.

According to Auquan, the Sustainability Agent is the first purpose-built AI system that autonomously completes end-to-end sustainability workflows, producing fully populated Principal Adverse Impacts (PAI) tables, Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR)/Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) disclosures and areas for improvement. Auquan says the tool delivers finished, audit-ready actions that institutions can use immediately.

Between 2024 and 2025, Auquan reports the Sustainability Agent produced more than 3,300 sustainability reports.
