Abstract

ESG investing has become rampant, especially after the disasters caused our environmental, social, and governance dilemmas. With the calling from the United Nations to meet 17 SDGs by 2030, sustainable investments like ESG investing have tried to align their investment plan with SDGs. However, there were revealed that ESG reports or information offered by rating agencies are diversified, inconsistent, and non-transparent, furthermore, different methodologies and non-standardized frameworks result in variation in ESG reporting. Emerging technologies like Industry 5.0 are believed to improve the situation by delivering more transparent, instantaneous, accessible, human-centric, and objective reporting for ESG investing decision-makers. A conceptual framework has been designed to depict the ideal situation when alternative ESG reporting is processed automatically by technologies, including a customized ESG report with features enhanced by Industry 5.0 technologies.
