Intercontinental Exchange Inc., the owner of the New York Stock
Exchange, said Tuesday that it is bolstering its current
sustainability database by adding data on companies' environmental,
social and governance-related risks.
The exchange giant said the newly-added data will be provided by
RepRisk, an ESG research company, and will cover issues related to
human rights, labor practices, corruption and the environment.
"As ESG continues to gain prominence, investors are increasingly
looking for granular, timely and accurate data to help uncover
ESG-related risks and opportunities in financial markets," said
Lynn Martin, president of fixed income and data services at
Intercontinental Exchange.
The company said the data provided by RepRisk on around 150,000
companies will be added to its current ESG data service, which
includes information from company and publicly available
third-party sources on sustainability issues like greenhouse-gas
emissions and product quality and safety that could affect
companies' operating performance.
