finpair GmbH, one of the leading digital platforms for structuring and issuing debt securities based in Hanover, has agreed to work with ESG.DNA. The innovative company from Frankfurt am Main offers cloud-based ESG management solutions that can be used to collect, evaluate and centrally manage information on sustainability and its opportunities and risks. According to the EU's new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which has been in force since last year, significantly more companies will be required to provide information on their sustainability than before. Around 15,000 companies are affected in Germany and around 50,000 in the European Union.
“We are pleased to have found a competent partner in ESG.DNA for the challenges posed by the directive. This allows us — in addition to our existing cooperation with the certification agency imug I rating — to offer our customers the perfect addition to a full range of services in the area of sustainability management,” says Tobias Müssig, managing director of finpair. “For us and also our customers, the company offers tailor-made solutions to analyze ESG performance, create transparent reports and measure the impact of activities — exactly what the new directive requires. This can serve as a basis for issuing sustainability ratings or second-party opinions and can be taken into account in financing structures,” continues Müssig.

For both partners, the focus is on an efficient and digital solution approach, which is also accompanied by competent personal advice, which is in line with the concept of sustainability. “Many companies do not yet have sufficient knowledge of this complex issue or do not have the capacity to meet increasing regulatory requirements,” says Jörg Uwer, member of ESG.DNA's management board. “Our tools were developed by experienced experts and offer medium-sized companies, financial service providers and analysts a quick and reliable solution for ESG profiles that comply with EU regulations,” continues Uwer.
