## Overview
The ESG Book Standardised ESG Data Feed grants access to a broad range of granular sustainability data, empowering clients to execute a comprehensive analysis of a company/portfolio's sustainability performance, risks, and opportunities. Our standardised data points are able to directly plug and play into internal dashboards for reporting and monitoring use cases.
The Feed includes ESG Book's Sustainability Framework that allows users to deep dive into different themes around the company's sustainability reporting.
The Sustainability Framework covers three thematic areas, including both binary and quantitative metrics across the Environment, Social, and Governance domains.
1. **Environment** – Including data on Air Quality, Carbon Pricing, Water Withdrawal, Energy Efficiency, Supplier Environmental Criteria, and Environmental Investments.
2. **Social** – Including data on Community Grievance Mechanisms, CEO Salary, Gender Pay Gap, Diversity Training, Employee Turnover, Human Rights Monitoring, Injury Rate, Product Withdrawal, Low-Priced Products, Customer Data Protection, and Employee Career Development.
3. **Governance** – Including data on Board Size, ESG Materiality Assessment, Director Remuneration, Codes of Conduct, Corporate Culture Disclosure, Anti-Bribery/Corruption Training, and Tax-Related Lawsuits.
The data is diligently collected by subject matter experts and undergoes thorough data integrity checks. All metrics can be linked back to publicly available sources, including company websites, annual reports, sustainability reports, proxy filings, 10K reports, policy statements, and assurance statements.

## Data Collection
Data for each indicator is collected from the aforementioned data sources through a set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). These SOPs define each indicator in detail, direct the analyst to all relevant data sources, and instruct them on the acceptability and unacceptability of information as evidence for each indicator.
The SOPs have been developed with the objective to facilitate consistency and error minimisation when capturing ESG information.

## Data Quality
After data collection, all data goes through a series of data validation tests to ensure data accuracy. Our technical validation tests look at 8 dimensions of data quality: Completeness, Conformity, Validity, Accuracy, Consistency, Uniqueness, Reasonableness, and Timelines. Our technical validation tests are run on the entire dataset of collected data with the aim to identify any inconsistencies in the data. Examples of the technical validation tests include:
• **Input error tests** - Checking if the input field has been correctly filled (e.g., checking that the analyst has recorded the correct year).
• **Inconsistency tests** - Checking if the data is consistent in consecutive years (e.g., checking that data present in one year is also present in the subsequent year).
• **Related questions tests** - Checking the input for two metrics is reasonable and/or expected based on the established relationship between the two metrics (e.g., if GHG emissions data disclosure is NULL, the quantitative GHG emissions metric should also be NULL).
Companies with identified errors will be flagged for further manual comprehensive data integrity validation by our ESG analysts.
