About the S&P Global Research Council

A changing world requires new insights, new analysis, and new approaches. The impact of geopolitical events, supply chain issues, health crises, and a changing climate is never confined to a single sector or market. Our clients require expertise and analysis that looks at the big picture.

The S&P Global Research Council was created to bring together leading experts from across our company to generate the type of research that our clients increasingly need. From capital markets to energy markets, from commodity markets to sustainability, we focus on the biggest challenges and opportunities in the world today.

From examining a world in disruption to illuminating the shadowy private markets; exploring the rise of India to mapping the contours of rapidly evolving supply chains to tracking the progress of the energy transition, our existing reports and those still to come provide the insights we all need to made decisions with conviction.

The work of the Council exemplifies the role of S&P Global in powering global markets and provides the perspectives our customers need to focus on the future.
