Traditional ESG data doesn't give you the full picture

Old style esg data
The old way
Reliant on company disclosure and analysts
Traditional providers such as MSCI and Sustainalytics rely on company disclosure - which happens infrequently. They employ armies of analysts to gather this data.
  • ESG data and scores are stale (every 6-12 months)
  • Low amount company coverage
  • ESG data is extremely expensive
  • ESG data is not always transparent/objective
