Our Story
ESG Analytics was born out of frustration with the current state of ESG. Conflicting ratings, terrible user interfaces, and a general lack of data were making the task of integrating ESG considerations into investment decisions unnecessarily difficult.
When we examined the existing ESG funds, we saw a lack of creativity, with an extreme reliance on corporate-disclosed data, which in turn informed external ESG ratings.
The surprising truth is that only a small portion of the investable universe is covered, and companies disclose data infrequently, if at all.We made a decision to leverage our data expertise to take an ‘outside-in’ approach—utilizing alternative data sources to assess company ESG performance and integrating this information into a platform that is useful, cost-effective, and engaging to use.
This vision led to the creation of ESG Analytics.In 2025, ESG Analytics was acquired by ExtractAlpha, a leader in alternative data solutions for institutional investors. This partnership enables us to further enhance our ESG data capabilities and continue delivering cutting-edge insights to investors seeking a more comprehensive approach to ESG analysis.
