Auquan has unveiled new Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) Good Governance capabilities for its Sustainability Agent.
According to FinTech Finance, this significant update empowers investment, sustainability, and compliance teams with the tools to instantaneously analyze governance practices in portfolios and companies, ensuring compliance with SFDR standards. The enhanced functionality aims to convert what was once a labor-intensive process into a swift, automated workflow.
The demand for systematic governance evaluation is increasing as regulatory frameworks evolve. Traditionally, investment professionals allocate extensive periods to manually gather and assess data to produce SFDR good governance assessments, necessary for financial products under Articles 8 and 9. These tasks, critical for showcasing sound management and ethical business practices, have historically consumed valuable time that could be better spent on high-impact activities.
Auquan specializes in creating AI agents that perform deep analytical work within the financial sector. The company’s Sustainability Agent, armed with these new capabilities, leverages advanced retrieval augmented generation (RAG) technology to generate detailed governance reports and maintain continuous oversight across a wide array of data sources.
The product’s core function revolves around generating thorough governance assessments and ready-to-file reports for either individual entities or complete portfolios at the click of a button. It continually monitors over 2 million sources in more than 65 languages, providing a comprehensive, external perspective on governance based on a variety of inputs including global company statements, local news, legal disputes, and regulatory filings.
Further details about the product reveal that it delivers actionable, compliance-ready reports that align perfectly with all SFDR requirements, simplifying the validation of governance standards for firms, even without direct access to internal company information.
Additional features include the ability for users to start immediate assessments with minimal setup, thanks to its integration on platforms like the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. This ease of access is designed to encourage more firms to adopt efficient governance practices without the traditional complexities involved in setting up new software.
“Auquan’s Sustainability Agent now autonomously handles this entire workflow — from data collection through reporting — enabling teams to escape the endless cycle of manual research and focus on more meaningful and high-impact work,” Auquan CEO Chandini Jain said.
