# RepRisk’s business conduct risk data now available on Manaos’ investment services marketplace
Building on the increasing significance of reputational risks in the investment landscape around ESG matters, Manaos, a subsidiary of BNP Paribas and modular investment service platform, is delighted to announce its partnership with RepRisk, a data science company that provides transparency on business conduct risks.
By integrating RepRisk's dataset which is generated combining human intelligence and cutting-edge AI, Manaos clients are now fully equipped with robust information enabling decision-useful insights on public companies. The data is based on a transparent methodology and mapped to more than 100 ESG risk factors and international ESG and regulatory frameworks, including the SDGs, UN Global Compact, SASB, and SFDR. This comprehensive approach empowers investors to gauge risks effectively and mitigate potential adverse reputational and financial impacts, as well as align their investments with sustainability objectives.
