Standardise high quality data

Each portfolio company accesses KEY ESG's Company Platform and submits its raw ESG data through an intuitive step-by-step process. Source materials can be uploaded to create an audit trail. The same methodologies apply across the entire portfolio, meaning that data is standardised and centralised, forming a single source of truth and creating reliable audit trials. ESG metrics can therefore be easily compared across different portfolio companies.

  • Access standardised emission conversion factors, calculations, and methodologies across your portfolio to ensure that your comparisons make sense
  • Download Excel outputs to review data input, conversion factors, methodologies, and resulting ESG performance by site, country and company
