Brief description of the data offering
The DataDesk Custom Ratings Tool allows users to develop comprehensive custom ESG scoring models based on DataDesk content, providing best-in-class analysis based on a broad range of responsible investment principles and user-defined criteria. Users have control over model customization, including weights and scoring, content inclusion and creating groupings from hundreds of factors.
Ratings can be used to compare a company to other companies in its industry, or to a broader set of companies, allowing investors to understand how a company performs in general and discern more subtle differences within a particular industry or group. This Custom Ratings tool further enables ISS ESG to work with clients to develop bespoke and holistic models of risk choosing from multiple factors and datasets.
