ESG Reporting Solutions

ESG Reporting 

To engage with clients about sustainable investing, you need to answer two questions: how do sustainability factors impact returns? How do my investment choices impact the world? We provide fully-customizable templates for ESG reporting so you can address these questions with clarity and confidence. 

Sustainable Investing Framework

Our Sustainable Investing Framework includes six ways to incorporate sustainability into portfolios.

The framework isn’t a checklist; it’s more like a menu—what you choose depends on your appetite and taste. It provides a tool and a guide for users to evaluate existing strategies and find new ways to combine approaches to meet specific objectives.




Communicating with your clients requires more than just a one-size-fits-all approach. We’ve built our ESG reporting solutions on Morningstar’s foundational sustainable investing framework, which outlines the various paths investors can take to act on their sustainability objectives. Our reports are tailored to the nuanced motivations that make investing so personal.

Apply exclusions

Avoids investment in companies, industries, or sectors that may negatively affect the planet or society, such as those tied to fossil fuels or tobacco.

Seek ESG opportunities

Practice active ownership
