NAB Asset Servicing has launched an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) insight reporting service for its clients.
NAB said it took ESG issues very seriously and the service would further support their clients with additional reporting on their investment portfolios.
NAB general manager, products for asset servicing, Allyson Bradnam said: ""Increasingly, this kind of reporting is more and more valuable to super funds and investment managers as the community becomes more interested in sustainability".
"This is just another way we are continuing to work to support our clients and provide them with a holistic, market-leading service," she said.
The service allows clients to monitor carbon emissions, as well as other metrics including bribery events, board independency, board diversity, and greenhouse gas reduction targets.

The super fund has announced that Mark Rider will step down from his position of chief investment officer (CIO) after deciding to “semi-retire” from full-time work.
Rest has joined forces with alternative asset manager Blue Owl Capital, co-investing in a real estate trust, with the aim of capitalising on systemic changes in debt financing.
