770 Investors Surveyed: Learn How You Can Improve Your ESG Data

Benchmark’s sweeping survey of investment decision-makers sought to identify the kinks in the ESG information pipeline that connects reporting entities with the investors for whom their ESG performance reports are intended.

  • The importance of useful and reliable company ESG performance data
  • The quality of the ESG performance data that companies report
  • Where company ESG performance data needs improvement
  • The causes of the shortcomings in companies’ self-reported ESG performance data
  • How business leaders might produce and report the investment-grade ESG performance data that investors increasingly expect
