Building on its commitment to drive positive change through its data and insight, Refinitiv announced that its ESG company scores are now available for free on Refinitiv.com. Users will also now have access to Refinitiv ESG data through the Refinitiv ESG Voice App.
Refinitiv remains committed to driving transparency around Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) information to reduce opacity in this critical area. Making ESG company scores freely available on Refinitiv’s public website enables anyone to see the ESG footprint, based on publicly disclosed data, of over 10,000 companies. For any company wanting to submit additional information there is a contributor tool to enable a fully comprehensive dataset that encourages disclosure.
The Refinitiv ESG Company Scores are designed to transparently and objectively measure a company’s relative ESG performance, commitment and effectiveness across 10 main themes, based on publicly available and auditable data. The scores are derived from Refinitiv’s database of 450+ company-level ESG measures, of which a subset of 186 of the most comparable and material data points power the overall company assessment and scoring process. The underlying measures are based on considerations around comparability, impact, data availability and industry relevance that varies across each industry group.

Leon Saunders Calvert, Head of Sustainable Investing, Lipper and I&A Insights, Refinitiv, said: “The ESG footprint of a company is no longer a niche consideration for investors or indeed wider stakeholders such as employees, regulators, consumers, policy makers, and society at large. Improvements will come to the transparency of ESG reporting by companies and the financial community and Refinitiv believes that we can play a role in supporting the disclosure process through making our company ESG scores freely available, both promoting open access to information and encouraging further information submission by companies who want to demonstrate their progress on sustainability issues.”
