OWL ESG Consensus Scores

Most ESG scores rely on non-standard, self-reported, and unregulated data. Inconsistencies across scores are unavoidable because each rating firm selects its own data sources, decides how to combine data into factors, and weights those factors to rate companies in E, S, and G categories. OWL overcomes these challenges by analyzing, integrating and optimizing the largest ESG dataset in the industry. Our “wisdom of the crowd” approach…
