Brief description of the data offering
Morningstar Sustainalytics’ Impact Metrics can allow investors to analyze 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, which signal positive Impact Theme and SDG contribution, and operational and governance metrics, which can be used to evaluate a company's impact performance based on how it operates and governs itself.
Our Impact Metrics data set can empower investors to assess and report on the environmental and social impacts of over 12,000 companies across 138 sub-industries, and 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 strive to ensure methodological alignment, while research controllers verify data consistency and quality on a product level.
Our quality assurance and curation can provide a unique differentiation from solely AI-based solutions, as AI heavily depends on standardized corporate disclosure, which can be limited.
