Case Study: Danske Bank Asset Management achieves scalable ESG and SFDR solutions with SimCorp

In pursuit of ESG investment excellence at Danske Bank Asset Management

Danske Bank Asset Management, one of the largest asset managers in the Nordic region, faced a major challenge in scaling ESG and SFDR reporting across its investment workflows. Managing more than EUR 100 bn in assets, it had to consolidate thousands of sustainability data points from over 10 vendors, deal with conflicting or missing information, and reduce heavy manual intervention. SimCorp, using SimCorp Dimension as the system foundation, partnered with Danske Bank to address these data and workflow challenges.

Through a development partnership that began in November 2020, SimCorp co-created new sustainability solutions embedded into Danske Bank Asset Management’s daily processes. By involving ESG analysts, portfolio managers, compliance teams, and SimCorp experts, the solution improved usability and automation of sustainability data and analytics, with quick turnaround aligned to regulatory changes. The result was scalable ESG and SFDR capabilities built directly into existing workflows, helping Danske Bank better advance its responsible investment ambitions.
