The ESG research solutions we provide includes building databases at the company and country level, developing frameworks, models, analysis, writing reports and preparing presentations. Our ESG support on climate change solutions includes opportunity assessment, risk analysis, climate financing and support on disclosures and reporting. The SDG mandates capture impact assessment and company benchmarking. Our ESG support includes risk assessment, scoring, integrated analysis and audits.
