We have expanded the transparency of our S&P Global ESG Scores, releasing two further layers of data underpinning each company’s criteria scores.

430 Question Level scores are now available, alongside 93 Criteria Scores across the E, S, and G Dimensions.

Further drilldown is also now available with the publication of more than 400 raw data points, based on the applicability, relevance, and disclosures of those data to the company’s overall scoring assessment.

S&P Global ESG Scores have been enhanced to include estimated scores for publicly assessed companies, reducing data gaps and improving peer and industry comparability. 

Providing context to evaluate companies' transparency on their ESG factors and understanding disclosure-based ESG Scores.

Clients can now easily access the most relevant ESG performance data for companies that you view on your CIQ Pro dashboard. In addition, we also launched our Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) reporting template in the CIQ Pro excel model library enabling banks to easliy extract the relevant data needed to align with this reporting framework.

Clients can now access the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulations (SFDR) template from the excel library, with the ability to view data in a company and portfolio view.

Users can select a Composite as either a Portfolio or Benchmark when running a portfolio analysis report to view the aggregated results, in order to view ESG-related aggregates for their investments as a whole.

Users can now add Scope 3 Downstream to the list of GHG Methodology options in the Carbon Footprint report, allowing users to include downstream indirect greenhouse gas emissions in the calculation of apportioned carbon emissions when running portfolio analysis reports.

Powered by Trucost's analysis of company reported data, climate models, and other scientific sources, this dataset enables you to assess company-level alignment with the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to well below 2°C from pre-industrial levels, based on Science-Based Targets recommended SDA and GEVA approaches.

The Trucost 2°C Alignment Assessment measures the adequacy of emissions reductions over time in meeting a 2°C carbon budget. 

Trucost’s environmental dataset provides standardized environmental and climate performance profiles on 15,0000 companies representing 99% of global market capitalization, enabling you to comprehensively assess environmental footprints including greenhouse gas emissions, pollutant impacts, fossil fuel dependency, power generation, water use, natural resource efficiency and waste disposal.

The data comes from a variety of sources, including company annual reports, direct disclosures, scientific literature, and an array of national, international, and industry databases, industry “top-down” data, as well as sector-specific “bottom-up” data, all quality checked by specialist analysts and validated through direct engagement with companies.

Trucost Environmental Data is on XpressAPI provides clients with Company Environmental data - clients can pull 114 data items for a given company to assess the environmental impact of a company’s direct, supply chain, and downstream operations.

We are launching a new Private Company Environmental Data (PCD) package.  As part of this first release of PCD coverage, we will cover 5k companies from our CIQ PCD universe that represent private companies with public debt.  Coverage will expand to 2M companies by year end.  Leveraging the same imputation expertise, we have extended the Trucost environmental model to provide damage costs attributed to GHGs, Land/Water/Air Pollutants, Waste, Water, and Natural Resource Use. 

Trucost Environmental data includes over 15,000+ public company records, 175+ environmental data points including carbon, water, waste, pollution, and energy mix, with many dating back to 2005. 

Trucost's Carbon Earnings at Risk data enables you to assesses company-level exposure to current and future carbon pricing scenarios. Integral to this analysis is the calculation of the Unpriced Carbon Cost, which is defined as the difference between what a company pays for carbon today and what it may pay at a given future date based on its sector, operations, and under different climate change scenarios.

This dataset can be used to stress test a company's current ability to absorb future carbon prices and understand potential earnings at risk from carbon pricing on a portfolio level and report to stakeholders on forward-looking estimates of financial risks in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

The Trucost Carbon Earnings at Risk enables users to assess company-level exposure to current and future carbon pricing scenarios and understand potential earnings at risk by using scenario analysis*. 

Trucost's Physical Risk dataset assesses company exposure to seven climate-related hazards (sea-level rise, flooding, heatwaves, coldwaves, drought, hurricanes, and wildfires) under low, medium and high climate change scenarios based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP).

The dataset includes coverage of over >2.7 million assets mapped to >15,000 listed companies, with risk metrics provided from a 2020 baseline to 2030 and 2050.

Company and asset level scores have been updated for 2020. We also added coverage of asset level data and future scenario projections for river flood and sea-level rise.

Clients will now be able to access insights into company participation in business activities related to defense & weapons, energy & fossil fuels, healthcare, and Sin Stocks based on revenue generation or ownership.
