Apex Group, a global financial services provider, has expanded its ESG Ratings & Advisory Services offering with the launch of a new diversity, equity, equality and inclusion (DEI) solution for private markets investors.
Global movements such as #MeToo and Black Lives Matter have highlighted inequity in society, putting pressure on businesses and investors to accurately report DEI data. Apex Group’s DEI Solution helps clients to collect, evaluate and improve on their DEI practices. This enables investors and their portfolio companies to overcome the myriad challenges faced when collecting sensitive data and identifying any gaps in their DEI approach.
Data capture is simplified with 20 easy to answer questions aligned with key ESG reporting frameworks such as the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulations (“SFDR”) and the Institutional Limited Partners Association (“ILPA”) Diversity Metrics with responses submitted via Apex Group’s proprietary online platform. This technology platform is further supported by expert advisory services and independent data verification to ensure high quality diversity data.
Apex Group’s DEI Solution generates actionable insights including detailed analysis of gender, race, ethnicity, and other key DEI areas, fully integrated alongside wider ESG reporting for customers, investors and regulators.
