Brief description of the data offering

Track and measure the degree and nature of companies' engagement in 27 Product Involvement Indicators with 60 different categories of involvement. The product assesses corporate involvement in specific business activities such as tobacco, alcohol, gambling, predatory lending, palm oil, oil & gas, and thermal coal. Our Product Involvement data set covers 22,000+ companies and is updated annually. 

Where and how do you source your data?

To determine the nature and level of involvement of a company, the research team relies on the company’s own reporting. Typical sources used are 10-K forms, corporate annual reports, and corporate websites. The research team also relies on issuer feedback for accuracy of information, depending on the responses received. 
 
 The product also leverages smart technologies for web-crawling, including screening annual reports, financial disclosure statements, and corporate websites for relevant thematic involvement. This process is used to confirm existing research, as well as to identify new involvement.
