The Data Analysis Report (DAR) is designed to present thorough insights into the sustainability performance of your company by analyzing an agreed selection of data taken from the CSA, enabling you to visually outline and benchmark your company’s relative performance with industry peers.

Thematic Data Analysis Report

Timely and well-rounded ESG data is essential for better executing strategic decisions — the Thematic Data Analysis Report (T-DAR) is structured around the CSA and other proprietary databases for analyzing relevant data in one material ESG topic across industries and regions, with further analysis in store for benchmarking your company’s sustainability performance against peer groups.

CSA as a Service

Corporations use the CSA as a reference tool for ESG-focused investors in gauging financial materiality with their sustainability performance, which creates an opportunity to be listed in S&P Global’s sustainability indices. Private markets can equally harness powerful CSA insights to align with global reporting standards and frameworks, potentially enhancing portfolio company performance.

CSA as a Service for Individual Companies

All companies, including the ones which are currently not covered by our CSA Invited Universe, can access the CSA as a Service and get a Public, Confidential or Provisional (based on hypothetical data) CSA Score. In other words, all companies, including individual issuers, asset managers, as well as private equity or private debt funds, can commission a CSA score on themselves, their subsidiaries, portfolio companies or suppliers. CSA as a Service applies the same rigorous methodology as we do for companies in our invited universe.

CSA as a Service applies the same rigorous methodology as we do for companies in our invited universe.
