Panel of ESG scores till most recent update

azorzi

Hello,

I am trying to obtain a panel of all ESG scores for any company (public or private) in France. I create my universe using this command:

df = rd.get_data(["SCREEN(U(IN(Equity(active,public,private,primary))/*UNV:PublicPrivate*/), TR.HasESGCoverage==true, IN(TR.HeadquartersCountry,""France""), CURN=EUR)"],['TR.CommonName','TR.HasESGCoverage'])

I obtain 379 companies that have ESG coverage marked as true. However, when I try to get the panel of ESG score observations I find that some of these companies do not have any ESG score at any point in time. I ran the following command:

df_ESGobs = rd.get_data(fr_universe,['TR.TRESGCScore', 'TR.TRESGScore', 'TR.EnvironmentPillarScore',  'TR.TRESGScore.Date', 'TR.SocialPillarScore','TR.GovernancePillarScore'], {'SDate':'0','EDate':'-19','Period':'FY0','Frq':'FY'})

I also observe that the last observation obtained using this command is August 31st 2024. But when I ran the command without the {'SDate':'0','EDate':'-19','Period':'FY0','Frq':'FY'} part, and I include the variable indicating the last update TR.ESGPeriodLastUpdateDate, I see that most companies have scores updated later in 2024 or even 2025. Specifically, I ran this command

df_descr = rd.get_data(fr_universe,fields=['TR.TRESGScore(Period=FY0)','TR.TRESGCScore(Period=FY0)','TR.EnvironmentPillarScore(Period=FY0)','TR.SocialPillarScore(Period=FY0)','TR.GovernancePillarScore(Period=FY0)','TR.ESGPeriodLastUpdateDate(Period=FY0)'])

Why is this happening? How is it possible to obtain the panel of all ESG scores till the most recent ones?

Thank you in advance for any help!

To verify the ESG data, please contact the helpdesk support team directly via MyAccount.

Otherwise, you can also compare the data with the data from the Workspace Excel or ESG page.

Hi Jirapongse,

thank you for your answer!

I tried to contact the helpdesk, but they suggested to ask the question here.

I also compared the data. It seems that some of the companies marked has having ESG coverage (TR.ESGCoverage == true) are actually missing the ESG data, which is surprising to me.

It also seems that most companies only have scores till 2023, even though the last period update (TR.ESGPeriodLastUpdateDate) is actually later. That is also unexpected to me, but I am probably missing something about how these variables are computed.

In any case, thank you for your help!

Best,

Amedeo
