Corporate Governance

ASSET4, a Thomson Reuters business accessible through Datastream database, provides objective, relevant and systematic environmental, social and governance (ESG) information based on 250+ key performance indicators (KPIs) and 750+ individual data points along with their original data sources.
Professional investors use this ESG data to define a wide range of responsible investment strategies and integrate it into their traditional investment analysis. Corporate executives (e.g. CSR and IR managers) use the corporation-focused solution to benchmark their own performance against peers and track relevant news. Quantitative analysts use the ESG data within the Quantitative Analytics solution to identify a new range of signals.
Issues such as climate change, executive remuneration and employee rights are becoming as important as traditional metrics for companies and investors, making access to an objective and comparable database and analysis tools important. (Source: Thomson Reuters)
ASSET4 ESG Data is accessible on dedicated Datastream computers located in Koerner Library, David Lam Library and the Wayne Deans Investment Analysis Centre (Sauder School students only).
