Where and how do you source your data?
Emissions data
ISS STOXX collects self-reported greenhouse gas emissions data from publicly available sources, including corporate social responsibility reports, CDP, investor relations communications, websites, and others. This data is assigned with a trust metric to indicate the quality of self-reported data. For non-reporting companies, or those who report with a low trust metric, we use in-house emissions modelling methodology, allowing us to calculate GHG emissions of companies based on those criteria most relevant to their line of business.
Additional climate data is collected from a range of sources, including:
- Third-party providers for key financial indicators
- Public information, including annual reports, etc.
- Subscription databases, including data from CDP, Science Based Targets Initiative
Forecast data from IEA on decarbonisation pathways and market growth projections from a well-respected macro-analysis forecast.
The Biodiversity Impact Assessment Tool uses a mix of publicly available/open-source databases (EXIOBASE), external databases (ecoinvent, etc.), and proprietary databases (ESG Corporate Rating, SDG Impact Rating, Energy & Extractives Data, etc.).
Bespoke Alternative Asset Coverage relies on input received from the client.
