Where and how do you source your data?
Bloomberg incorporates ESG data from multiple sources so firms can look at ESG holistically and in combination with other data factors informing their investment strategies.
Bloomberg captures ESG data from companies’ annual reports, integrated annual reports, sustainability reports, stewardship/corporate governance reports, AGM results, press releases, policy documents, websites, and other publicly available documents. Bloomberg also captures fund disclosed information, holdings, general objective, and SFDR classification details.
Bloomberg’s global team of ESG analysts run multi-layer quality controls to clean and standardize company reporting so it is readily usable for clients. Company reported data represents at least 80% of company operations and workforce to enable complete evaluation of sustainability performance. This data is fully transparent and traceable to the original documents.
Bloomberg sustainable debt information is sourced directly from issuers and involved parties and from proactively collected frameworks, external reviews, allocation and impact reports. Bloomberg provides Green, Social, Sustainable, Sustainability-Linked (GSSS) tags along with other details on Bloomberg Terminal and through its Enterprise Data business.
Bloomberg’s proprietary scores leverage data collected by the company’s Data team and two research arms: BI and BNEF. BNEF maintains updated country transition level data and renewable energy and finance project information through its network of industry relationships. BI provides ESG investment research across all asset classes written by 400 BI analysts.
Bloomberg’s ESG data is fully integrated into Bloomberg Professional Service applications designed for company analysis, including Financial Analysis (FA), Equity Screening (EQS), Research Management Solutions (RMS) and Portfolio & Risk Analytics (PORT), allowing clients to efficiently incorporate ESG into the investment process.
Bloomberg’s dedicated ESG function (BESG <Go>) on the Bloomberg Terminal provides a quick snapshot of a company’s historical ESG performance using the most material and best reported metrics and third-party ESG scores.

What are the key attributes that differentiates the data you offer?
Active market participation: As one of the world's leading financial data providers and a long-time advocate for improving the quality and usefulness of corporate sustainability disclosures, Bloomberg has a deep understanding of the challenges surrounding ESG data, such as lack of availability, transparency and comparability.
Bloomberg actively engages with industry initiatives to help solve for these, notably through the development and standardization of non-financial disclosures via the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), which Michael Bloomberg chairs, through membership on the Platform for Sustainable Finance, the UK’s Green Technical Advisory Group, GFANZ – Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero, and via the development of high quality, transparent and reliable ESG data and analytics.
Data quality excellence: Bloomberg’s company reported data represents at least 80% of company operations and at least 80% of the company's workforce to ensure it is representative of activities and is comparable across the industry. Bloomberg's global team of ESG analysts run sophisticated, multi-layer quality control systems to ensure that all data conforms to the highest standards, and full data transparency is provided so users can drill down to validate any datapoint.
Holistic insights:Bloomberg provides firms access to transparent, consistent, and comparable ESG data covering 15,000+ companies globally, representing approximately 90% global market cap, with more than 5,100 data fields, including third-party data.
