ESG Book

ESG Book targets the unreliability and fragmentation of sustainability data, citing its own finding that a third of financial executives distrust their internal ESG numbers. The platform merges outdated public datasets with difficult-to-collect private customer data, delivering source-documented, validated information designed to reduce manual reconciliation and increase confidence in reporting, underwriting, and supply chain management.

The platform supplies validated emissions data that lenders can use directly in underwriting sustainability-linked loans. It then tracks borrower performance against emissions targets and flags missed commitments, aiming to help financial institutions grow their sustainability-linked lending volumes while maintaining data integrity on portfolio decarbonization.

No. ESG Book operates as a data infrastructure and disclosure platform, not a rating agency or investment manager. It acts as middleware, consolidating public and private sustainability data and mapping it to reporting frameworks, which means its output feeds into the workflows of financial institutions rather than generating investable products or credit opinions.

ESG Book captures private company sustainability data directly through its platform, unifying it with public disclosures. The firm positions this capability as essential because privately held firms often face limited disclosure requirements, creating a significant data gap for lenders and supply chain managers trying to measure financed or Scope 3 emissions.

ESG Book LEO is a product the firm launched to transform sustainability reporting for both corporates and financial institutions. While detailed specifications are not publicly broken out, the announcement positions LEO as a dedicated solution within the platform's broader suite for streamlining regulatory submissions and data management.

Justin Fitzpatrick is the CEO of ESG Book. The firm announced his appointment to the role, though his prior professional background is not detailed on the company's website. Ciaran McCale serves as Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, handling media inquiries and external communications.

ESG Book targets financial institutions and corporates engaged in sustainability reporting, transition finance, and supply chain decarbonization. Its platform is sector-agnostic in application but is particularly relevant for banks underwriting sustainability-linked loans, asset managers handling regulatory disclosures, and corporations managing Scope 3 supplier emissions.
