WRDS Social Impact Products
For environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings, various agencies construct their scores through compiling and analyzing multiple sources, including firm disclosures, reports from third parties (such as NGOs), articles from the media, and their in-house research conducted through interviews and questionnaires with company employees or executives. For most data vendors, ESG ratings include an overall ESG score and scores for each of the three subcomponents (E, S, and G).
