Companies are eager to understand the effect their initiatives are having on the world around them or whether their innovative new product is more sustainable than what is currently on the market. But measuring the full impact of an organization’s activities and products can be overwhelming.

Morningstar Sustainalytics’ Corporate Impact Report calculates the social, environmental, and economic impact of a business, focusing on the material issues that are most relevant to its industry and region.

Our experts will assess the ESG impact of a company’s activities and products, including corporate social responsibility programs, supply chain spending, and operations, enabling better insights to drive internal decision-making and improving reputation among peers, investors, and clients.

Better understand your company’s impact data.
