Using a ‘wisdom of the crowd’ approach, OWL analyzes, integrates, and optimizes the largest ESG dataset in the industry - combining inputs from a wide range of vendors to create robust, unbiased, timely, consensus-based scores and KPIs for public companies worldwide.
SEE DATA LIKE NO OTHER
Consensus scoring delivers a more objective and agnostic market view which leads to better decisions and outcomes.
Over 30,000 companies; over 60,000 funds; and over 236,000 bonds in OWL’s coverage universe. We leave no stone unturned to ensure that you have the scores that you need.
Agnostic Market View
OWL’s “wisdom of the crowd” approach creates an unbiased, smoothing effect without the subjective influence of one data provider’s rating.
Data Updated Monthly
OWL ESG always has the freshest ESG data in the industry.
Absolute & Relative Scoring
Scoring from 100 (best) to 0 (worst). Scoring data from rating agencies, NGOs, specialist firms, trade publications, and more sources weighted by average “consensus” on each issue. This is used to create 12 KPIs and 20 total scores.
ESG ratings data is subjective, disproportionately driven by the values and priorities of each ratings agency. With OWL’s Consensus Scores, focus on your values and priorities.
