Cognizant and Alveo Introduce ESG Data Management Application

Cognizant reveals that it has entered an agreement with Alveo to provide a comprehensive Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) data management solution to the financial services sector.

Through the partnership. companies will have the option to operationalize ESG data, integrate it into business processes for improved portfolio options while addressing the fast-evolving regulatory requirements.

Using its digital expertise and extensive knowledge of customers’ business, Cognizant will offer data operations and tech services in order to support the implementation and management of Alveo’s ESG Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution.

Alveo’s tech comes with built-in capabilities that are exclusive to the financial services sector, including mappings between different data sources and regulatory guidelines.

Hepsworth added:
