Where and how do you source your data?
Beyond Ratings climate and ESG data relies on public sources. A limited number of indicators are developed from privately sourced data. Data behind our ESG-augmented credit assessment model, is sourced through academic literature before being tested in our econometric framework.
FTSE Russell's ESG Scores and data relies on publicly disclosed information, primary sources of data are company reports, and other company disclosures. However, we supplement this data with sources, such as governments and NGOs. This sourced data is cross-referenced with a rules-based methodology before companies have the opportunity to highlight additional public information for consideration consideration, finally a rules based transparent calculation methodology is used to determine ESG scores. The ESG data model is overseen by an independent external committee.
FTSE Russell's Green Revenues data relies upon publicly disclosed information, primary sources of data are company reports and other company disclosures. We also use data from sources such as governments and NGOs. We quantify known but undisclosed data gaps and employ a proprietary estimation process to leverage as much available information while filling these gaps.
All Refinitiv company ESG data measures are sourced from publicly available sources. We collect some data points from third party sources and NGO websites. ESG controversies are captured from hundreds of top editorial sources such as Reuters, Associated Press, Financial Times.
Powered by the market leading macro-economic time series database Datastream, Refinitiv ESG Country scores, mapped to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, uses data sourced from the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
The Yield Book ESG Framework for Securitised Products dataset pulls on various databases, including collateral-level information as well as other external providers on geospatial climate risk, social-focused databases and population-focussed databases. The datasets are then combined and transformed into purely objective metrics using the latest techniques in data science and machine learning.
