Bloomberg offers up to 12 years of annual ESG data for approximately 13,000 publicly-traded companies and daily granular governance data for a subset of 4,500 public companies that goes back to 2013.
Bloomberg is available on three special terminals located in the FLC.
To analyze the ESG performance of an individual company, load the company and then type FA ESG <GO>. To generate an ESG report for a company via the Excel plug-in, type XLTP XESG <GO> .
To screen for companies based on their ESG performance, type EQS <GO> to open the equity screening function. Once criteria such as exchanges or geography have been selected, type in 'ESG' to identify and select ESG-related criteria.
