As institutional shareholders, retail investors, and regulatory agencies alike continue to stress the importance of meeting Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives for the new age of stakeholder capitalism, banks and other financial institutions find themselves under increasing pressure to achieve sustainability goals. Faced with the daunting task of collecting and analyzing amounts of data that are almost incomprehensibly large, banks and other financial service firms are turning to Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in record numbers. Integrating the newest advances in automation, RPA essentially uses software “robots” to perform repetitive tasks. RPA is one of several technologies that can help banks and financial institutions ensure that ESG initiatives turn out to be successful. In a reliable foreshadowing of the role that corporate sustainability practices will play in capital markets moving forward, both the European Union and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission have ramped up ESG oversight efforts significantly over the last several years. Furthermore, several of the world’s largest private equity funds and other institutional investors have begun demanding that corporate boards produce publicly available plans to achieve ESG goals within a dedicated time frame.
