Brief description of the data offering
With nearly 30 years of expertise in governance research and data analytics, Minerva Analytics (Minerva) has been collecting and curating data since 1996. We recognise that even the most compelling report is only as credible as the data behind it. For us, accuracy isn’t optional; it’s essential. That’s why data governance and quality control are embedded into every stage of our process, supported by a robust framework of qualitative and quantitative checkpoints.
Minerva provides accessible analysis of a company’s corporate governance arrangements. A governance research report is published each time a company holds a shareholders’ meeting and includes analysis of the resolutions being voted on. We scrutinise public disclosures against more than 1,100 indicators every year ahead of each shareholders’ meeting. The data is used to help analysts provide a detailed analysis, highlighting issues where the company falls short of the expected best practice or legal standards under which it operates.
With regards to companies, the Minerva Governance Framework offers an overview of:
- Company activity - principal activities, strategy, advisors, key financials, governing documents, donations, key performance indicators, and financial indexes;
- Capital - capital structure, authorisations to increase or repurchase shares, and disclosed shareholders;
- Board and Committees - composition, structure, directors, director changes, biographies, committees, diversity, leadership, workforce engagement, independence, attendance, tenure, evaluation, and conflicts of interest;
- Audit and Risk - committee, auditors’ history including appointments, remuneration, tenure, partners, opinions, external audits, and election results;
- Minerva Governance Rating - robust, data-driven assessment of corporate governance practices; and
- Meeting Results - resolution categories, resolution narratives, resolution outcomes, meeting turnout, poll data, proxy votes, meeting venues, and dates and times.
Used by investors, regulators, and academics, the Minerva database is highly regarded for its thoughtful and rigorous data classification and tight relationality.
