Covalence allows companies to better assess reputational risks by helping them monitor their performance on ESG matters through benchmarking, research and ESG news monitoring services.
Our ranking service enables corporations not only to monitor their ESG reputation but also to benchmark their performance against peers and improve communication with internal and external stakeholders. It helps companies understand and track the balance between positive (endorsements) and negative (controversies) news that is associated with the company.
Covalence ESG snapshots capturing ESG performance information are a core feature of this service.
Updated on a monthly basis, ESG snapshots provide:
- Ranking results across sectors and within sectors
- Scores in the Environment, Social, and Governance categories as well in the Disclosure and Reputation axis
- Performance metrics across the 11 dimensions with 5 years history
- Most active topics over the last 3 months
- SDG mapping
Our bespoke Company Reports provide a deep dive into what could affect a company’s ESG reputation: controversies and issues affecting the company and the way in which its sustainability initiatives and credentials are portrayed in the media.
These reports include ranking results and sector analysis but also a deeper reputation assessment by dimensions, criteria, topics, regions and countries and by types of information sources. In addition, our research includes an analysis of the five most important topics relating to the company. Topics range from climate change and human rights to cocoa and palm oil sourcing, diversity and water pollution.
Our detailed research reports can also be customised to meet your specific needs. They can focus on a specific sector and cover pre-defined regions, types of media or issues.
