Sustainable ESG Global Dataset: ~7,000 Global Companies, 150 Industries, 70 Countries, +20 KPIs, 3 Years of Coverage

Why Sustainable ESG Global Dataset? We are a group of former Hedge Fund managers, Strategy Consultants, and Software Developers. We believe that ESG can be a driver of progress towards key issues of our time like climate change and social inequality, but right now is misguided. To us, that is a data problem. We differentiate our data based on access and quality. What does this mean? 1. Cost: we do not think company provided ESG data should cost $30,000 dollars a year. It is a public good and should be priced accordingly. 2. Terms: other providers are incredibly restrictive in how you are allowed to use their ESG data. In some instances they even require revenue sharing agreements before allowing you to use the data publicly! Ridiculous! We have open terms that allow you to use the data however you want. 3. Flexibility: many other providers force you onto a platform to leverage complicated APIs, interfaces, and other distribution models. We provide easy to use CSVs, that include common identifies like ISIN #s and stock tickers that you can easily incorporate into existing workflows. 4. Up to Date: most other providers either license CDP data, which is only updated annually. But ESG data is not like other financial data, it is updated all of the time. We continuously monitor and update our data set, so you will get the most recent data and not have to wait till the end of the year. 5. Source Document Traceability: we source the ESG data directly from company reports and provide links to the KPI location. This serves as a great tool to check quality, and helps easily uncover insights. What is actually included? Here is the summary of the columns in the current data set. We can add more as needed. 1.)

Source documentation links for traceability How do we source the ESG data for ~7,000 companies? Our data is sourced directly from company disclosure. We focus on facts (or exactly what the company says) not proxies, like estimates, ratings, or the like. We source data through mandatory disclosures like the 10K, 10Q, etc. Or from voluntary sources like ESG reports, DEI reports, CSR reports, company websites, and blog posts. Our process is AI driven, but supported by a group of analysts with deep ESG expertise. No data is published without being checked by a person. What companies do you include in your data set?

Sustainable provides friendly terms and easy access to educators, and aims to be a driving force for high quality ESG education. Consultants: The world’s largest consulting firms are investing billions of dollars into ESG advisory practices. Many of these firms have the resources to build and buy expensive ESG data platforms. But ESG is not just an opportunity for the large firms. Smaller consultants have long led the ESG movement, and need tools to continue these efforts. Sustainable data is built to support advisory, new service offerings, and in depth research so smaller players can still be competitive. What if you need more? We know ESG is a fast evolving field. It seems like new regulations and requirements are added every day. Unfortunately, off-the-shelf data sets do not evolve at such a rapid pace.
