GMI Partners with Trucost – MarketWatch.
NEW YORK, Sep 08, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) — –Agreement bolsters ESG metrics for investment community and corporate stakeholders
GMI and Trucost announced today a strategic partnership to incorporate Trucost environmental performance data into the GMI Analyst research platform. The agreement strengthens GMI’s existing governance analysis and will enable GMI clients — leading institutional investors, banks, insurers, auditors, regulators and corporations — to incorporate a measure of environmental risk alongside traditional financial metrics.
Trucost data on environmental risk includes analysis of carbon, water, waste, pollution and natural resource dependency, in order to identify efficiencies and areas for reducing material environmental risks. The Trucost analysis also identifies where data gaps exist in terms of tracking and reporting and compares environmental performance of companies against peers, sectors, investment benchmarks and portfolios.
