Brief description of the data offering

The ISS ESG Water Risk Rating provides an aggregated score of a company’s overall management of freshwater-related risks based on the following complementary pillars:

  • Water Risk Exposure Classification: A classification of a company’s individual exposure to freshwater-related risks based on its industry assignment, the geographical footprint of its own operations, and its industry classification regarding supply chain risks.
  • Water Risk Management: A metric for a company’s current water-related operational performance, taking into account its risk management practices along the value chain, as well as its potential involvement in controversies.

The ISS ESG Water Risk Rating runs on a scale from 0 to 100, ranging from significant unaddressed risks to negligible and/or well-managed risks.
