Could artificial intelligence (AI) help companies meet growing expectations for environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting? Certainly, over the past couple of years, ESG issues have soared in importance for corporate stakeholders, with increasing demands from investors, employees and customers. According to S&P Global, in 2022 corporate boards and government leaders "will face rising pressure to demonstrate that they are adequately equipped to understand and oversee ESG issues -- from climate change to human rights to social unrest." ESG investing, in particular, has been a big part of this boom: Bloomberg Intelligence found that ESG assets are on track to exceed $50 trillion by 2025, representing more than a third of the projected $140.5 trillion in total global assets under management.
