In a rapidly changing environment, the lifeblood of analyzing the ESG domain is comprehensive coverage. Without it, truths around sustainability performance remain hidden, responsibilities unfulfilled and opportunities unrealized.
Using a combination of enriched and verified data, analyst-led assessments and predicted scores, we provide ESG and Climate information on more than 300 million public and private companies globally. The result is accountable insight that enables you to make sustainable decisions with confidence.
Our Approach
Double materiality is the cornerstone of our approach. By understanding how risks in the global economy are interconnected, we evaluate a company's impact on the environment and the communities it serves, including shareholders, employees and suppliers. And, crucially, we consider how the outside world impacts a company’s long-term performance.
