A New Data Set from Covalence Helps Monitor Corporate Norms

Founded in Geneva in 2001, Covalence evaluates the environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of thousands of companies around the world. Covalence has recently released a new data set that monitors whether or not a corporation is conforming to well-established “norms” of behavior.

Covalence regularly reviews more than 60 lists published by asset managers and asset owners worldwide and identifies which companies they excluded from their portfolio for “norms” violation reasons. More than 1,400 major entities turned out to be on at least one exclusion list (out of 15,590 that are both covered and tracked by CSRHub). Covalence is now offering this “Norms-Based Exclusion Monitor” to help other asset managers and owners uncover potential problems within their portfolios.

CSRHub is excited to announce the Covalence Norms list data is now available through CSRHub’s customizable Roadmap Report. The Roadmap makes it simple to add this data in your made-to-order Report. Click CSRHub’s Roadmap Report form, enter the focus company and up to ten additional companies. Tailor the Report to meet your specific needs. Choose at least one Roadmap foundation (Benchmarking, Trends, Engage or Lever), then any additional data sets to meet your unique specifications. The Covalence data is $200 and includes companies that were checked for inclusion in the Covalence Norms exclusion list, a list count and if flagged by asset managers and/or asset owners. A list of the entities covered by this data set, including those for whom no Norms issues were found, can be seen here on the CSRHub site. More…
