ESG thinking is fundamental to the investment process. ESG investing information covers up to 80% of global market capitalization and 76 countries across more than 630 indicators.

This metric helps us assess the risks and opportunities associated with companies' activities in important areas such as climate change, executive compensation, and diversity.

ESG research can be trusted with complete confidence because every data is strictly controlled and verified to ensure it is standardised, comparable and reliable.
