Iceberg Data Lab Registered By ESMA Under EU ESG Data Provider Regulation

As of the 13th of August 2026, Iceberg Data Lab is proud to be among the first ESG data providers officially registered by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) under Regulation (EU) 2024/3005.

The new regime establishes a unified standard for ESG ratings in the EU, with the aim of increasing the transparency and integrity of these ratings, strengthening investor confidence in ESG financial products, and shaping the EU market for sustainable finance.

Iceberg Data Lab welcome this regulation, and since its inception is aligned with its core principles:

• Transparency of our methodologies

• Clear disclosure of the methodology limitations

• A strict separation between data provision and advisory or issuer-facing services

This registration strengthens the credibility of our approach, and Iceberg Data Lab reaffirms its commitment to providing reliable and transparent ESG ratings in line with the highest standards.

This new regulatory environment is an important milestone for Iceberg Data Lab, our clients and the sustainable finance market.

Iceberg Data Lab continues to advocate for stronger regulations to ensure the development of sustainable finance, including through addressing the issue of excessive market concentration, which undermines the improvement of data quality.
