The Challenge

Alongside rapid growth, the sustainable, responsible, and impact investing industry has also witnessed increasing fragmentation across asset classes, investment products, and various environmental, social, and governance (ESG) themes in recent years. With lax regulation and standardization in ESG disclosures and impact management, the datasets and assessments provided by individual research firms are inherently incomplete and often incommensurable, creating a variety of problems for investment decision-makers.

Our Solution

Croatan Institute has developed Research, Analytics, and Insights for Social and Environmental Returns (RAISER) as an interactive web application curating our rigorous, cutting-edge research on total portfolio approaches to social and environmental impact investing across asset classes and themes.
