Case Study: a leading North American-based investment management company strengthens ESG reporting with S&P Global Xpressfeed™

Accessing ESG Data via Xpressfeed™

S&P Global worked with a leading North American based investment management company and its responsible investment committee, which wanted to incorporate ESG considerations more deeply into investment decisions, evaluate portfolio carbon footprints, and launch new socially oriented funds. The firm needed better data, analytics, reporting, and support to assess greenhouse gas emissions, environmental KPIs, fossil fuel exposure, and Paris Agreement alignment.

S&P Global provided climate and environmental datasets, including Trucost Climate and Environmental Data, Fossil Fuel and Energy Data, and the Trucost Paris Alignment Dataset, delivered through Xpressfeed with Loader technology into the firm’s internal database. This gave the committee automated access to bulk ESG data for benchmarking and reporting, helped support portfolio analysis across asset classes, and enabled more efficient and frequent reporting on ESG performance and carbon risk, though no specific quantitative outcome was disclosed.
