What Is ESG Data & Where To Get It
What is ESG data?
ESG data has been making its rounds in the financial services industry for decades, but the profitable data has grown increasingly popular in the last few years.

Essentially, these sets of non-financial factors show how green a business truly is. Below are popular examples of ESG criteria used by clients to make sustainable investment decisions.
