ESG statement view provides the ESG details for the individual company. More information on the Refinitiv ESG Scores methodology can be found here.
A comparison with the company’s industry peers can be found by selecting Peer view from the dropdown options. This can be downloaded to Excel or saved as a PDF document.

I would love to see such reporting and comparisons made available as fact sheets for SME’s to review larger businesses and their ESG agendas.
