Financial data provider Preqin and Impact Institute have merged their alternative assets data points focused on impact. Alternative and private markets are typically opaque on the transparency of ESG and impact data, as they often do not have regulatory obligations to share this data. Through the partnership, Impact Institute’s quantitative database – the Global Impact Database (GID) – will merge with Preqin’s ESG Solutions datasets, providing information on almost 300,000 private companies. “Our partnership with Impact Institute marks a pivotal moment for investors seeking to harness the power of impact data,” said Jaclyn Bouchard, Head of ESG Solutions & Corporate Responsibility at Preqin. “We are illuminating the path forward for decision-making and analysis, offering investors much-needed transparency to navigate the complexities of ESG and impact integration investment processes.” By combining their strengths, Preqin and Impact Institute will strive to deliver reliable data in an intuitive format, empowering investors to seamlessly incorporate impact metrics into their decision-making process, Bouchard added.
