Our ESG Profiler and ESG Sandbox tools are available on our retail adviser platform.
The ESG Profiler tool helps you record a client's ESG preferences, demonstrate the sustainability metrics of their investments on our platform and create tailored client reporting.
Our ESG Sandbox tool helps you research the sustainability metrics of different investment solutions and demonstrate them to prospective customers without having to set them up as clients on our platform first.
Take a look at our ESG profiler video walkthrough.
