Fixed Income Methodology
Approximately 150 KPIs are tracked covering 3 extra-financial aspects of performance (Environment, Social, Governance). Users will be provided the KPI values and raw data (publisher, publication date, etc.) for each KPI, as well as the scores for KPIs, categories, pillars and overall entity scores (scores are computed based on performance).
The solution is completely flexible, allowing users to group KPIs into customised categories and/or select those they want to evaluate. Users can also choose the entities they are interested in and all scores and rankings will be based on the set of countries/companies selected by the user. These reports are now available in Excel and PDF formats, and through a web-based product interface later in 2009.
Updates are made on an annual basis, or on request, with the latest data available. The data availability per local authority is above 90%.
