In the decade ahead the integration of ESG factors into investment analysis, decision-making and stewardship is expected to increase. Globally, 227 asset owners and 496 asset managers have signed up to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), thereby committing to integrating ESG considerations into their investment and stewardship approaches.

• Overall ESG rating
• Scores against a broad Environmental, Social and Governance pillar
• Measurement against six ESG criteria themes including; environmental management, climate change, human and labour rights, supply chain labour standards, corporate governance and countering bribery.
