Where and how do you source your data?
To build up a comprehensive picture of each company, ISS ESG analysts collect information relevant to the rating both from the companies being analysed and from independent experts. During the rating process, considerable importance is attached to the dialogue with the company under evaluation.
All the information received is cross-referenced with other sources (local authorities, local press etc.). In addition to the process of cross-checking and validating sources, ISS ESG uses independent experts on thematic issues (human rights, environment) or regional issues to assess the credibility of the information.
What is the cost for your data offering?
Pricing is based on the method by which data is delivered. ISS ESG can provide data via its proprietary platform, DataDesk, or via data feed. Pricing for this solution is available upon request.
