About the Portal

Contributing Partners

The ESG Data Project is the result of collaboration between the World Bank's Finance, Competitiveness and Innovation (FCI) global practice, the World Bank Treasury, and the Development Data Group. The project is funded by the Financial Sector Reform and Strengthening Initiative (FIRST) and the Global Program on Sustainability (GPS). The project also benefits from the Wealth Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystem Services (WAVES) Program and the Human Capital Project.

Team members are also contributors to the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action (CAPE), the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), and the Sustainable Banking Network (SBN). The work of these networks feeds into the work of the ESG data team.
