Where and how do you source your data?
Data is collected based on the sources and methodology used by each underlying ISS ESG solution. ISS ESG data is typically derived from company filings, as well as ongoing event-driven data updates as reflected in public disclosure, reputable news, governmental and international institutions, recognised international or local non-governmental organisations, and non-biased subscription databases such as the CDP.
What is the cost for your data offering?

What are the key attributes that differentiate the data you offer?
Dedicated ESG Regulatory Solution Team where both methodology experts and product managers work together to update and enhance the regulatory suite of products to closely align with latest regulatory updates.
EU Taxonomy Alignment Solution
· Robust screening and distinct indicators for all five steps of the process - going beyond other providers in terms of completeness and rigorousness.
· Granular level of revenue assessment, including Likely Aligned, Potentially Aligned and Likely Not Aligned revenues. This allows for different approximations of alignment.
Alignment with latest ESAs clarifications for the use of equivalent information: ISS ESG’s EU Taxonomy Alignment Solution covers activities defined as eligible pursuant to the Taxonomy Delegated Acts.
SFDR PAI Solution
· Leverages leading in-house ESG data solutions. Data from these solutions is not used as a 1-to-1 but rather relevant factors are combined and assessed through several layers of analysis to either verify or serve to approximate compliance with required criteria.
· Engagement with the rated companies for fact verification purposes is core to the underlying ISS ESG research reports. This process allows companies to provide supplementary detail and confirmation of involvement. If the information provided is from an official source, it will be included in the report.
Regulatory Sustainable Investment Solution
· Not only gives clients the ability to select their chosen environmental or social characteristics, but also flexibility to choose their preferred way to address the requirements. These will include taking a Controversies or Risk based approach, analysing companies holistically or via a more granular revenue-based assessment, and the ability to select from a range of individual or combined adverse impacts / significant harm metrics.
