Kneip today announced it has entered into a strategic partnership with ISS FWW (FWW Fundservices GmbH) to make European ESG Templates (EET) available in the German market via ISS FWW.

EETs were launched in June 2022 to facilitate the exchange of ESG data between market participants as required in order to comply with European financial market regulations.

The partnership will help to provision transparent, up-to-date and correct ESG data to investors.

Enrique Sacau, CEO, Kneip said: “We are delighted to be partnering with ISS FWW as one of our sister companies at Deutsche Börse Group to leverage our technology and data expertise in order to provide high-quality data to investors in Germany.”

Marc Bonnet, Managing Director at ISS FWW, said: “This strategic partnership will enhance existing cooperation between ISS FWW and Kneip, which has been built on the mutual appreciation of each other’s strengths to benefit clients, and lay the foundation for developing further innovative projects in the near future.”
