Global Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) trading

Our approach to ESG investing

Chief Commercial Officer and Executive Director Our ESG database covers 80% of global market cap based on publicly reported company data. We strive to be the industry standard database that reflects official company disclosure on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics.

We believe that company disclosure and standards of reporting on these issues is of vital importance as it ensures accurate investor information, public discourse and regulatory guidance. 

We also believe that transparency is critical to driving positive outcomes at both a financial and social level.  We do not use, create, or collect data that is not disclosed or publicly available. 

Our robust, verifiable data is sourced from documents such as annual reports, company scores and fund ratings.

Smart business makes the world stronger

ESG is more than ticking boxes. It’s about making a difference, both for businesses and the world in general. ESG drives outcomes that create value and build growth, whilst strengthening our environment and societies.
