Under increasing regulatory and market pressure worldwide, assessing firm related ESG and climate risk management practices requires consistent and comparable metrics. Despite rapid growth in available underlying data, limitations continue to impact company coverage, reported data quality, assessment consistency, and infrequent updates.
In this webinar, we’ll present how the award-winning ESG Score Predictor tool can help uncover risks and opportunities for credit decisioning, portfolio monitoring, investment allocation and overall ESG strategy and risk appetite:
• How to obtain quantitative ESG score estimates and climate data for any company in the world, even small and medium size enterprises (SMEs), with location, sector, and size data
• Firm-level performance trends across geographies, sectors, and company types
• Case study examples of the ESG Score Predictor in action identifying emerging risks and opportunities across diversified portfolios
