GECKO Governance and TopRiver Partners have partnered to combine GECKO’s RegTech solution with TopRiver Partners environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) knowledge to meet the standards of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
Based in Ireland, GECKO Governance is a data-driven platform built to meet the needs of the financial services and funds industry globally.
Also based in Ireland, TopRiver Partners is an independent directors' and consulting office.
The collaboration represents a change in the way both businesses address the needs of greater transparency for ESG by deploying a more forward way of thinking and a sustainable approach for the future.
Commenting on the partnership, Michelle McGuire, CEO of GECKO Governance, says: “At GECKO, our ethos is to build technology that will address our clients’ current and future needs, and ESG regulation is at the forefront of everyone’s mind right now. By partnering with TopRiver Partners, we ensure that our product offering is best in class, as we are bringing together both technology and ESG expertise to address the market need.”
Muiris O’Dwyer and Jonathan McKeown, co-founders of TopRiver Partners, comment: “There is an ever-growing and significant burden arising out of ESG regulation which together we will be best positioned to support our clients.
“We will be releasing our first product together early next year, which will support EU SFDR and taxonomy regulation alignment while generating great efficiencies for clients.”
