Why financial institutions choose Dataland
It comes down to how we solve common challenges in accessing, using, and sourcing ESG data.
Missing issuer data
Large ESG data providers typically focus on listed companies, leaving smaller, regional, or unlisted issuers outside their standard coverage. Data consumers must then identify, source, and structure the missing data themselves.
Data on demand
Dataland provides the data its members actually need. If a required dataset is missing, members can request it. The data will be sourced from issuer disclosures and added to the platform, so gaps in coverage can be addressed when they arise.
Poor data quality
Many data sourcing approaches introduce errors, inconsistencies, outdated values, or unexplained gaps. Inaccurate or untraceable ESG data undermines reporting, analytics, and decision-making.
AI extraction, human verification, source traceability
Dataland sources data from original publishers and combines tailored AI extraction with manual verification. Every published data point is linked to its original document, ensuring structured, quality-assured, and fully traceable datasets.
Restrictive licensing terms
Acquired datasets are often subject to restrictive usage rights, limiting how they can be applied across reporting, analysis, validation, and other internal workflows. This reduces the practical value of the data far beyond the original use case.
Unrestricted use
Dataland data can be used freely and published freely. This allows the same dataset to support multiple teams and workflows without unnecessary licensing constraints.
High prices
Many providers offer expensive data packages that are not well aligned with the actual needs of the data consumer. Institutions often end up paying for broad coverage, bundled content, or additional functionality that is irrelevant to their use case.
Lean pricing model
Dataland follows a shared procurement model in which pricing reflects the effort required to source a dataset. The costs of that sourcing effort are shared across the members who need the data rather than being borne by each institution individually.

Frameworks on Dataland
The platform covers the ESG frameworks most relevant to European financial institutions.
EU Taxonomy
Financials
The EU Taxonomy Regulation enables financial institutions to assess and report the share of environmentally sustainable economic activities within their portfolios, based on eligibility and alignment metrics.
EU Taxonomy
Non-Financials
The EU Taxonomy Regulation provides a framework for non-financial companies to disclose the extent to which their activities are environmentally sustainable, based on defined technical screening criteria.
EU Taxonomy
Nuclear and Gas
The EU Taxonomy includes specific criteria for nuclear and gas activities under transitional provisions, allowing companies to report their contribution to climate objectives under defined conditions. Under the Omnibus 2026/73 EU Taxonomy update these KPIs have been integrated into the new Financials and Non-Financials templates.
SFDR
The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation requires financial market participants to disclose how sustainability risks are integrated into investment decisions and to report Principal Adverse Impact indicators at entity and product level. The contained KPIs largely overlap with CSRD.
PCAF
The PCAF standard provides a methodology for financial institutions to measure and disclose financed emissions associated with their lending and investment portfolios.
LkSG
Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz is a German law requiring companies to identify, assess, and manage human rights and environmental risks within their supply chains.
