LONDON, Oct. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Deloitte & Touche SpA signed a business relationship with leading ESG risk management software provider, Datamaran, to enhance its Sustainability Assurance process using Datamaran's patented technology.

Datamaran is the only software analytics platform in the world that identifies and monitors external risks, including ESG.

The agreement allows Deloitte to expand their research and analytics capabilities in conducting assurance of sustainability disclosure by providing evidence-based insights into the widest scope of environmental, social, corporate governance, technology, and emerging risk factors available.
