Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE), a leading operator of
global exchanges and clearing houses and provider of mortgage
technology, data and listing services, today announced that ICE
Data Services is integrating ESG risk data from RepRisk into its
ESG Reference Data service.
ICE Data Services has launched multiple innovative ESG data
offerings throughout 2020 designed to offer transparency into the
area of market risk. These offerings include our ICE Climate Risk
product tailored to the U.S. fixed income market, ESG Reference
Data, and a suite of ESG indices. With the integration of RepRisk’s
ESG risk data, ICE’s ESG Reference Data offering incorporates data
and information from a market leader in the systematic
identification and assessment of risks that can have financial,
compliance and reputational implications for U.S. and global
companies. The RepRisk ESG data concerns issues related to human
rights, labor practices, corruption and the environment, and will
be made available alongside more than 400 other unique attributes
in ICE Data Service’s ESG Reference Data service.
“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 ICE. “The
breadth and depth of RepRisk’s ESG risk data will be a strong
complement to our ESG data service. Our service can provide clients
with transparent metrics to help drive sustainable decision making
and analysis.”
ICE Data Services’ ESG Reference Data offers detailed attributes
and indicators, such as greenhouse gas emissions, board diversity
metrics and nearly 400 other key metrics sourced from company and
publicly available third-party sources.
“As demand for investment strategies that incorporate ESG
factors increases, data with a track record and consistent
methodology that is time-tested is necessary to help investors
better understand ESG risks,” said Philipp Aeby, CEO of RepRisk.
“RepRisk’s daily-updated dataset – powered by the combination of
machine learning and human intelligence – allows stakeholders to
safeguard their assets by detecting and mitigating risk while
aligning their portfolio with internal goals and international
standards. The size and depth of our dataset – currently more than
150,000 companies worldwide – coupled with data and information
from ICE Data Services provides investors with robust tools and
critical data to see around corners and illuminate blind spots when
assessing ESG risk.”
