Brief description of the data offering
With 16 years of history, HIP’s Corporate ESG Ratings continue to add value for investors.
Intended to be an indicator for future risk, return potential, and net impact on society, our quantitative analysis of fundamentals systematically identifies the drivers of the 90% of market value that cannot be found on the balance sheet.
Our ratings are a powerful tool used by investors and money managers to know what they own and endorse companies prioritizing human, social and environmental solutions — while pursuing optimal risk-adjusted returns.
HIP Investor provides ESG & Climate Corporate Equity, Fixed Income and REIT Metrics, & Ratings to fund managers, investment advisors and everyday investors.
HIP Corporate ESG Ratings seek to provide a holistic overview of the impact associated with a given company.
This is done by gathering quantitative data on three main areas:
- Products & Services
We analyze and quantify the impact products & services have on the consumer, the human problem they solve, and the amount of revenue generated by providing products that are good for the customer but also for the environment as a whole.
- Management Practices
We look at how the vision, strategy and KPIs of the company support the long-term, comprehensive view of the company, customers, and society. We study and analyze which systems and processes the corporation has implemented for making decisions that include criteria for both improved financial performance and a better world.
- Operating Metrics
We gather performance data on how the company measures the human, social, and environmental impacts associated with its day-to-day operations. Furthermore, we analyze how these impacts drive profit and shareholder value. At a more granular level, the operational outcomes are organized according to five conceptual impact pillars modeled after Maslow’s famous hierarchy of needs: Health, Wealth, Earth, Equality, and Trust. Each Impact Pillar is comprised of 4-6 metrics.

Where and how do you source your data?
The data used to generate HIP Ratings is collected through publicly available resources, as well as through non-public subscription databases. To be considered for inclusion in a sector's scorecard, a data source must meet the following three requirements:
- Values must be a quantitative metric of an issuer's impact on people, planet, or trust.
There must be a direct relationship between the data point and the future risk potential of a bond issuer at any point across the full duration of the bond. - Data set must deliver significant coverage across the peer universe, providing a performance range and appropriate context for data verification and comparison.
- In sourcing data, HIP strives to acquire the most quantitative, comparable, and comprehensive metrics according to these criteria that apply to each given sector.
HIP sources data from dozens of sources, including:
- Issuers and obligors of muni bonds
- Government databases
- Non-profit datasets
- For-profit databases
- Academic research
HIP sources, cleans, quality-checks, and tests the distributions of the results. As HIP produces, publishes, and licenses Ratings, our analysts are very attentive to quality, accuracy, and analytical rigor.
