Case Study: a leading investment company enhances sustainable investing with S&P Global's environmental data and analytics

Honing Sustainable Investing Strategies with Robust Environmental Data

Leading Investment Company worked with S&P Global to strengthen its sustainable investing strategy. The firm was already using a mix of self-collected ESG data and third-party sources, but it needed more comprehensive and reliable modeled carbon emissions data, especially for Chinese listed companies and bond issuers, along with better desktop analysis tools and a way to feed data into its internal warehouse.

S&P Global Market Intelligence, through S&P Global Sustainable1’s Trucost environmental analytics, provided standardized climate and environmental data on more than 22,000 companies, covering Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and related metrics. The solution, available in S&P Capital IQ Pro and via Xpressfeed for internal integration, helped the company save time on data gathering, deepen portfolio carbon analysis, quantify supply chain emissions, improve portfolio optimization and ESG scoring models, and support broader ESG research and risk monitoring.
