We attended this year's BDL Sustainability Forum and came away with exciting ideas that we reflected on in the context of our asset-based funding platform software solution. It became clear that relevant stakeholders – from leasing companies and banks to ESG data providers – need a cross-data infrastructure to meet the increasing complexity of regulatory and sustainability-related requirements.

Our key takeaways

  1. ESG data integration is no longer a nice-to-have, but a prerequisite for sustainable financing models. The presentations by Michael Sindram from openESG GmbH showed how important a consistent ESG database is for investment decisions and reporting.
  2. The circular economy is increasingly seen as a strategic lever. The discussion on ‘equipment-as-a-service’ models was particularly exciting, as these are not only more sustainable but also enable new business models, as our circular economy expert Philipp Glase explained.
  3. Standardization and interoperability are crucial. Several panels emphasized that without common data standards and interfaces, no efficient platform solution is possible – a clear mandate for technology providers and thus for us.

The BDL Sustainability Forum showed that the industry is ready to break new ground – but also that there is still much to be done. For us at BearingPoint, one thing is clear: a modern ABF platform must incorporate ESG, the circular economy and data-based decision-making processes from the outset.
