Brief description of the data offering
Morningstar Sustainalytics’ Impact Metrics allows investors to analyse the impact of their investee companies' operations and economic activities in line with Sustainalytics’ Impact Themes and the UN SDGs. The solution includes both revenue-based sustainable activities metrics, signalling positive Impact Theme and SDG contribution, and operational and governance metrics, used to evaluate a company's impact performance based on how it operates and governs itself.
Our Impact Metrics data set empowers investors to assess and report on the environmental and social impacts of over 12,000 companies across 138 sub-industries, more than 100,000+ funds, as well as aggregations at custom-portfolio level. These are quantitative measures of environmental or social outcomes directly linked to a company’s activities, such as renewable energy generation, women on boards, or water withdrawal. We map each metric to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and six broad impact themes to support streamlined portfolio and fund reporting.
Where and how do you source your data?
Our dedicated Activities-Based Research team has around 45 analysts, senior analysts, and content specialists who ensure methodological alignment, while research controllers verify data consistency and quality on a product level.
Our quality assurance and curation provide a unique differentiation from solely AI-based solutions, as AI heavily depends on standardised corporate disclosure, which is currently very limited.
