Environmental and social disclosures aren’t a one-size-fits-all proposition. Industry, company size, and peers are a few of the factors that can influence the environmental and social decisions a company should make. ISS-Corporate expert advisory team understands these nuances and how to construct the right recommendations for you and
your shareholders.
Coverage

Methodology
The ISS E&S QualityScore Technical Document details the questions analyzed and rationale for inclusion in the factor methodology.
Companies receive two overall QualityScores assessed across two pillars: Social and Environmental.
QualityScore uses a numeric, decile-based score that indicates a company’s environmental & social risk relative to its industry. A score of “1” indicates environmental & social risk in the lowest 10 percent of all companies, and, conversely, a score of “10” indicates governance risk among the highest 10 percent of all companies.
E&S QualityScore
Due to the relative nature of QualityScore, both events involving a company and events at other companies in its region may affect a company’s QualityScore.
