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. MSCI ESG Ratings rate over 8,500 companies (14,000 issuers including subsidiaries) and more than 680,000 equity and fixed income securities globally (as of October 2020), collecting thousands of data points for each company.
