The Triad that Differentiates ESGTree from Competitors
Over the past four years, one of the most common questions we get is: What differentiates ESGTree from its competitors? A stellar product and relentless drive to improve customer experience may sound like cliched answers, so we’ve put together three additional core features that set us apart from our competitors:
1. Purpose built for private market investors:
Our entire tech stack and back-end/front-end is purpose-built for the private investor use case e.g., our three-tier database structure allows seamless data aggregation and analytics upwards from portfolio companies to General Partners (GPs) to Limited Partners (LPs) in real-time without any customization required. This platform also provides access, as needed, to Environment, Social, and governance (ESG) teams, deal teams, and partners at the firm level to ensure alignment at all levels. This is just one example of our ‘built for purpose’ approach.
2. Seasoned ESG & Impact Founding Team:
Our Founding team collectively has over 20 years of experience working with over two dozen Private Equity (PE) firms on ESG/impact strategy and reporting prior to launching ESGTree. We are seasoned ESG professionals who decided to build technology for solutions we had been implementing for many years. Owing to our ESG and impact backgrounds, we are familiar with the developments and nuances of ESG’s evolution since the early 2000s.
3. Continuous engagement and innovation to meet industry needs:
As a company that was built organically with a product, customer, and revenue focus, we are already profitable and debt-free in our fourth year of operation. We are not under pressure to scale and sell assembly line / off-the-shelf products. We have the time and interest to customize our solutions in a way that they provide real solutions for real problems. ESG needs are slowly converging onto major standards, but firms still have unique needs driven by boards, management, LPs and compliance needs, which are particular to their business. We are not only okay with addressing these nuances but are passionate about them as they contribute towards the continuous growth and innovation of our platform.
