ESG & Climate

ESG and climate data is independent measurement of a company's environmental, social, and governance exposure — emissions, controversies, and physical climate risk — compiled from sources beyond the company's own disclosure.

The primer

ESG and climate data measures environmental, social, and governance characteristics independently of what an issuer chooses to disclose. Providers combine company reporting, regulatory records, news controversies, and physical-risk modelling into scores and raw indicators. Investors use it for screening, risk management, and increasingly for regulatory reporting. Buyers should scrutinise methodology transparency, how scores are revised over time, and the degree to which ratings from different vendors actually agree.
