Navigating Sustainability Objectives with S&P Global ESG Scores and Raw Data

Understanding S&P Global ESG Scores

S&P Global ESG Scores are a comprehensive measurement of a company's performance and management of material ESG risks, opportunities, and impacts. This data is gathered through a rigorous research process known as the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), which includes industry-specific questionnaires and engagement with companies. The scores range from 0 to 100, reflecting a company's sustainability efforts and practices. These scores are crucial for stakeholders to assess the sustainability performance of companies in various industries.

Double Materiality in ESG Scores

One unique aspect of S&P Global ESG Scores is the consideration of double materiality. This approach evaluates sustainability issues based on their impact on society, the environment, and the company's value drivers. By assessing both societal and financial impacts, S&P Global ESG Scores provide a holistic view of a company's sustainability performance, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices for long-term value creation.

ESG Criteria and Topics

The S&P Global ESG Scores cover a wide range of criteria and topics across environmental, social, governance, and economic dimensions. These include biodiversity, climate strategy, human capital management, corporate governance, risk management, sustainable finance, and more. By evaluating companies on these key criteria, stakeholders can gain insights into the overall sustainability practices and performance of each organization.

Utilizing ESG Raw Data

S&P Global also offers ESG Raw Data, providing access to over 1,000 transparently disclosed ESG data points for each company assessed in the CSA. This granular data enables users to customize their analysis, develop scoring-related analytics, perform thematic portfolio analysis, and more. Asset managers, banks, and corporations can leverage this data for various purposes, including risk evaluation, benchmarking, and operational target setting against peers.
