Case Study: Danske Bank Asset Management advances ESG investment excellence with SimCorp

Danske Bank Asset Management centralizes ESG data across 10+ vendors with SimCorp

Danske Bank Asset Management, a major Nordic asset manager, faced a significant challenge in managing the vast and complex volume of ESG data required for its sustainable investment strategies and regulatory compliance. The company needed to automate and integrate high-quality sustainability data from over ten vendors into its daily workflows. To overcome this, Danske Bank partnered with SimCorp, utilizing its SimCorp Dimension investment management platform as a foundation for developing a new solution.

SimCorp implemented a scalable, automated hub within SimCorp Dimension to centralize sustainability data and create custom KPIs. This solution integrated ESG metrics directly into the investment management value-chain, providing portfolio managers and analysts with up-to-date insights. The results enabled efficient SFDR compliance, enhanced risk management, and supported the firm's sustainable investing strategies, all while increasing operational efficiency and reducing costs. Danske Bank and SimCorp continue to consider future extensions to their development partnership.
