As new ESG and climate regulations move
forward, MSCI Corporate Sustainability Insights gives listed
companies access to metrics to set goals, track progress
MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI), a leading provider of critical decision
support tools and services for the global investment community,
today announced the launch of MSCI Corporate Sustainability
Insights – a solution designed to increase corporate sustainability
executives’ understanding of the ESG and climate challenges and
opportunities facing their companies.
MSCI Corporate Sustainability Insights gives executives at
companies tracked by MSCI ESG Research the ability to measure and
compare their ESG and climate data versus peers, while also
identifying potential disclosure gaps through intuitive charts,
graphs, and maps.
Features of MSCI Corporate Sustainability Insights, managed by
MSCI ESG Research LLC, are designed to give companies:
- Streamlined insights to support strategic planning and drive
investor engagement through new visualizations of MSCI ESG Research
risk and performance data, including a company’s ESG Ratings, ESG
Controversies, and Sustainable Development Goals Net Alignment
profiles;
- Views into their risk exposure and alignment with global
temperature goals through MSCI ESG Research’s Climate Value-at-Risk
and Implied Temperature Rise solutions;
- Help in identifying their potential disclosure gaps in
carbon-related commitments through the MSCI Target Explorer tool;
and
- Views into climate-related risks and opportunities compared
with industry peers, based on the recommendations from the Task
Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
MSCI ESG Research has measured and modeled the ESG performance
of companies for over 40 years via extensive collection of publicly
reported data and direct engagement with companies. The rising
importance of ESG for investors and companies in recent years, as
well as the higher level of regulatory reporting requirements, has
led to greater data disclosure and dissemination from companies
themselves to MSCI ESG Research. In 2022, 3,989 companies (43%) in
the MSCI ACWI Investible Market Index interacted directly with MSCI
ESG Researchi.
As regulators have begun mandating TCFD-aligned rules, more
companies are also making net-zero pledges. As of March 2022, 1,330
of the more than 2,900 constituents of the MSCI ACWI Index had set
emission-reduction targetsii.
Companies are also increasing their climate-related data
disclosures in lock step with institutional investors that are
moving towards net-zero and other ESG and climate investing goals.
The number of data points related to climate change that companies
submitted to MSCI ESG Research rose from 9,914 to 14,648 between
2021and 2022iii.
Beth Byington, Global Head of Corporate ESG and Climate
Solutions at MSCI, said: “The ESG and climate needs of
companies have evolved dramatically as new reporting requirements
from regulators and institutional investors have emerged in recent
years. It is now more important than ever for listed companies to
speak a common language with these audiences about financial
opportunities and risks associated with subjects like climate
change. MSCI Corporate Sustainability Insights was created to help
corporate leaders, such as chief sustainability officers, gain
further transparency into their ESG and climate profile. We hope
these deeper insights will allow them to take quick, decisive
action to meet their unique sustainability goals.”

Information containing any historical information, data or

future performance, analysis, forecast or prediction. Past
performance does not guarantee future results.
The Information should not be relied on and is not a substitute

None of the Information constitutes an offer to sell (or a

It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Exposure to
an asset class or trading strategy or other category represented by
an index is only available through third party investable
instruments (if any) based on that index. MSCI does not issue,
sponsor, endorse, market, offer, review or otherwise express any
opinion regarding any fund, ETF, derivative or other security,
investment, financial product or trading strategy that is based on,
linked to or seeks to provide an investment return related to the
performance of any MSCI index (collectively, “Index Linked
Investments”). MSCI makes no assurance that any Index Linked
Investments will accurately track index performance or provide
positive investment returns. MSCI Inc. is not an investment adviser
or fiduciary and MSCI makes no representation regarding the
advisability of investing in any Index Linked Investments.
Index returns do not represent the results of actual trading of
investible assets/securities. MSCI maintains and calculates
indexes, but does not manage actual assets. Index returns do not
reflect payment of any sales charges or fees an investor may pay to
purchase the securities underlying the index or Index Linked
Investments. The imposition of these fees and charges would cause
the performance of an Index Linked Investment to be different than
the MSCI index performance.
The Information may contain back tested data. Back-tested
performance is not actual performance, but is hypothetical. There
are frequently material differences between back tested performance
results and actual results subsequently achieved by any investment
strategy.
Constituents of MSCI equity indexes are listed companies, which
are included in or excluded from the indexes according to the
application of the relevant index methodologies. Accordingly,
constituents in MSCI equity indexes may include MSCI Inc., clients
of MSCI or suppliers to MSCI. Inclusion of a security within an
MSCI index is not a recommendation by MSCI to buy, sell, or hold
such security, nor is it considered to be investment advice.
Data and information produced by various affiliates of MSCI
Inc., including MSCI ESG Research LLC and Barra LLC, may be used in
calculating certain MSCI indexes. More information can be found in
the relevant index methodologies on www.msci.com.
MSCI receives compensation in connection with licensing its
indexes to third parties. MSCI Inc.’s revenue includes fees based
on assets in Index Linked Investments. Information can be found in
MSCI Inc.’s company filings on the Investor Relations section of
