Brief description of the data offering
Morningstar Sustainalytics’ ESG Risk Ratings measure a company’s exposure to industry-specific material ESG risks and how well a company is managing those risks. This multi-dimensional way of measuring ESG risk combines the concepts of management and exposure to arrive at an absolute assessment of ESG risk. We identify five categories of ESG risk severity that could impact a company’s enterprise value.
Where and how do you source your data?
Our team of ESG analysts leverage smart technologies to enable them to monitor more than 60,000 media sources and up to one million news articles daily. We also collect data from publicly available sources like regulatory filings, sustainability and impact reports and NGOs. This data is reviewed and analysed using our transparent and robust methodologies to provide clear ratings and signals that go through quality control measures such as peer review. Ratings and data are updated annually, or as adverse company events necessitate. Company ratings are aggregated at the fund and portfolio level and then compared to their Morningstar Global Category Peers.
