Auquan Sustainability Agent Now Autonomously Completes SFDR Good Governance Assessments and Reporting Using AI
By Dominic Sow · 5 March 2025
Auquan, the market leader in AI agents for deep work in financial services, today announced new Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) Good Governance capabilities for its Sustainability Agent. This empowers investment, sustainability and compliance teams to instantly analyze portfolios and companies’ governance practices against SFDR requirements. This new capability transforms a workflow that traditionally takes days of manual research and production into complete reports instantly.
As regulatory requirements intensify, firms face mounting pressure to systematically evaluate governance practices across their portfolios. Every day, talented investment professionals spend countless hours manually researching and producing SFDR good governance assessments, which are mandatory for financial products classified under Articles 8 and 9. Instead of high-impact work, employees are gathering data to demonstrate robust policies and practices across sound management structures, employee relations, staff remuneration, and tax compliance.
“Finance professionals spend countless hours manually gathering evidence of good governance practices from volumes of fragmented sources just to maintain SFDR compliance. This can be especially difficult for credit teams that don’t have access to their companies’ internal information,” said Chandini Jain, CEO of Auquan. “Our 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.”
End-to-End SFDR Good Governance Capabilities
Building on its existing ESG and sustainability expertise, Auquan’s Sustainability Agent now leverages the company’s proven retrieval augmented generation (RAG) technology to:
- Generate comprehensive governance assessments and file-ready reports for individual companies or entire portfolios with one click.
- Continuously monitor over 2 million sources in more than 65 languages to provide an outside-in view based on global and company statements, local news, lawsuits, regulatory filings, and NGO reports.
- Deliver actionable, compliance-ready reports aligned with all SFDR requirements.
