Where and how do you source your data?
ISS ESG’s data collection and assessment process follows clearly documented rules and guidelines. The ISS ESG research team conducts systematic source monitoring to identify relevant information as it becomes available. Data is primarily sourced from publicly available information, including a company’s own disclosure, proxy statements, reputable news, governmental and international institutions, recognised international or local non-governmental organizations, and non-biased subscription databases.
Assessments undergo a rigorous data collection process, including peer review. Each service employs a specialised and distinct approach designed to ensure near complete coverage across companies, regardless of geography, industry or company size. In addition, for many data sets, the research team conducts fact-finding dialogue with companies to provide supplementary detail and confirmation of involvement.
