Our ESG services in this business division assesses ESG metrics, trends, news and controversies. Our scalable strategy makes us a ‘brand behind the brand’ for rating agencies and ESG data platforms, enabling us to deal with large-scale and dynamic data efficiently. We get our data through in-depth analysis of company-level self-disclosed data, publicly accessible data, data from third-party sources and data from contentious research. While ensuring data integrity using data quality criteria, we clean and validate data using data triangulation and the evaluation and opinions of ESG experts. Through peer benchmarking and gap assessment, we also produce profound insights.

We automatically extract data from recognised sources based on contextual and decision-based business criteria. Our sophisticated data identification and extraction processes guarantee high accuracy by having analysts verify the obtained data.
