Observation on data availability/gaps

Different methodologies and scales would require internal evaluation, as it is not transparent on how the ESG scoring is derived. The coverage of companies also varies across these platforms. S&P Global ESG Scores are uniquely informed by in-depth company engagement via the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA).
