CSRHub Blog Research on ESG metrics and comments on sustainability best practice

CSRHub is pleased to release the third e-Book in the new series, How to Improve Your CSR Score, sponsored by Triple Pundit. “Telling Your Story... Is more disclosure better disclosure?" is now available for download.

Here is a taste of Book 3 of the series:

Do companies who do disclose more, benefit from doing so? CSRHub data shows strong evidence that the top disclosing NASDAQ companies (most of whom are members of NASDAQ’s Global Select Market tier), do elicit better ESG ratings than those with less disclosure. But is that the whole story?

Telling Your Story, Is more disclosure better disclosure?

Learn more and how it impacts ratings and rankings in the new e-Book.

“Telling Your Story... Is more disclosure better disclosure?" explores:

• Is Corporate Disclosure Widespread?
• Disclosure – A Clean Dive or Making a Splash
• Where Should You Try To Land?
• Where Can You Get a Good Coach?
  
  

As the world’s largest sustainability/ESG business intelligence database, CSRHub is in a unique position to understand corporate social responsibility (CSR) ratings. We have studied each of our 535 data sources’ metrics, and our system automatically identifies which sustainability reporting investments add the most value, pinpoints areas of lagging or leading performance, and produces benchmarks against other companies. In How to Improve Your CSR Score, CSRHub will try to share some of the “secret sauce” its co-founders, Cynthia Figge and Bahar Gidwani, have developed through their combined 30+ years of experience with sustainability metrics.
