Below is an overview of ISS ESG’s recently released report on ESG Performance within the Healthcare and Technology, Media, & Telecommunications sectors. To access the full report, you can download it directly from the ISS ESG online library.
The purpose of the ESG Performance Chartbook series is to provide the reader with insights into the distribution of ESG Performance Scores per industry within a sector. The charts are based on the underlying data from ISS ESG’s proprietary ratings methodology and are illustrated using histograms and box & whisker charts.
Reviewing ratings distributions allows the reader to appreciate how similar or dissimilar discrete categories are within a particular industry. The discrete categories within this report focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance data and their contribution to an issuer’s overall performance score. They also illustrate the Key Issues for each industry, which reflect industry-specific materiality mapping.
