BuildESG Unveils All-In-One ESG Solution for Asset Managers and Small Businesses to Accelerate ESG Adoption

BuildESG recently launched the BuildESG Hub, a holistic software and service solution to deploy, manage and scale ESG programs for small businesses, asset managers and their portfolios. The digital platform is a powerful tool for aligning ESG practices with core business strategies, offering a best-in-class digital user experience that provides a 360-degree view of ESG processes, and offers access to resources, expert guidance and a community forum.

"The BuildESG Hub arose because we saw a gap in the market ? we couldn't find a simple solution that would help companies understand the basics of ESG, why it matters and how to establish a foundation of practical policies and processes that were applicable across sectors and company maturity levels," BuildESG Founder & CEO James Lindstrom said. "So, our team of ESG experts, investors and technologists built a platform that combines digital tools and ESG expertise that companies and investors need to set and meet their ESG goals."

The BuildESG Hub offers both free and paid packages. "For those who need more guidance, we felt it was important to offer guidance alternatives in the form of a community forum and ESG experts under a flat fee versus the hourly model of most consulting firms." Lindstrom added. BuildESG members and teams at various membership tiers are able to:

• Deploy ESG Programs. For companies that do not yet have an ESG program, the platform includes basic education and a methodical building of a foundation of processes and policies. Deployment starts with access to introduction to ESG training content and user-friendly, digital assessments of a company's existing policies and processes, resulting in a digital action list to establish a solid foundation for future ESG initiatives, such as quantitative data tracking.
• Access Support Resources. In order to support building a foundation, BuildESG provides guides, templates, due diligence and vendor assessments and a portfolio-wide content retention library.
• Connect with Peers through the BuildESG Forum. BuildESG's platform drives connections and community among our members by helping share best practices, tools and intelligence.

Additional paid features include:

• Hands-on Introductory and Annual ESG Training.
• Portfolio Analytics for Asset Managers.
• Premium Private Equity Industry Benchmarking Reports.
• Detailed Benchmarking Process-Level Data.
• Expert ESG Guidance from BuildESG Experts.
• Annual Company and Portfolio Reviews from BuildESG Experts.
