Overview

CSRHub offers a comprehensive global set of consensus ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) rating. CSRHub’s big data business intelligence system ingests data from a wide variety of sources, including Wall Street analysts, crowd sources, government databases, and non-governmental groups (NGOs).

Please contact us to learn more about our various pricing options--the price in this profile is only indicative.

Founded in 2007, the CSRHub data set differs from other data sets because it has:

  • Broad, deep coverage. CSRHub’s big data algorithms aggregate and harmonize disparate data from more than 925 sources. We generate consensus scores for twelve subcategories of corporate sustainability performance:
  1. Board
  2. Community Dev & Philanthropy
  3. Compensation & Benefits
  4. Diversity & Labor Rights
  5. Energy & Climate Change
  6. Environment Policy & Reporting
  7. Human Rights & Supply Chain
  8. Leadership Ethics
  9. Product
  10. Resource Management
  11. Training, Health & Safety
  12. Transparency & Reporting
  • Clear, consistent ESG signal. CSRHub data powers corporate, investor, and consumer ESG and sustainability decision making. With 12+ years of data history and coverage of public companies, private companies, and non-for-profit entities, CSRHub’s data can be used by all parts of society.
  • Unique source of business intelligence. CSRHub’s consensus signal improves the value and usability of other ESG and sustainability data sources. Our signal gives a monthly update on the progress that each covered company is making towards improving its social performance.

The CSRHub Specification for REST Access (CSRA) API offers a simple way for to request information from the CSRHub database. A developer can easily write code that requests CSRHub overall, category or subcategory ratings. Applications can also use the CSRA API to:

  • Enter tickers, ISINs, or variants of company names and receive a standard name or CSRHub invariant ID number for any company in the database. Developers may also use the API to create a “lookahead” search to support an “autocomplete” search process.
  • Request information about companies such as their industry, location (address, city, state, country, zip code, and/or phone number), web site, and/or the web location for their CSR information.
  • Request ratings at the overall, category, or subcategory level for any month from December 2008 through the present. Overall ratings can be conditioned to reflect a user’s personal profile settings or can use one of our default profiles. Ratings can be returned either on a 0 to 100 scale (100 is best/highest) or as a percentage (ratio) of the other rated companies overall or by region, country, industry group, or industry.
  • Request average ratings at the overall, category, or subcategory level overall or by region, country, industry group, or industry.
  • Request a list of the data sources that have reported information on a company (or a total of the number of sources). Users can also check to see if a source is present or not for any company or see a list of the companies who were reported on by any source.
  • Request individual data items for any of thousands of different data elements from hundreds of different data sources.
  • Examine which data sources supplied the data that contributed to a CSRHub rating.
  • Export a set of fields for a set of companies (bulk export).
  • Construct stable search strings using Boolean logic to select and return sets of companies that meet criteria such as geographic location, industry, rating level, or included or not included in a data source.
  • Request overall information about the dataset such as the number of data elements available, number of companies rated, or number of data sources.

CSRA is designed to allow developers to create their applications without requiring support or programming resources from CSRHub. To implement CSRA, developers architect their back-end server to respond to specifically structured REST requests in an expected way. A developer must begin each session with a login transaction that establishes a secure session. The CSRHub server inspects these credentials and uses them to associate the request with a user ID and profile ID. It then delivers a profile-adjusted rating to the requesting application. User profile information also determines the default month for the data set that the user receives. Because CSRA is conditioned by user profiles, it is easy for an application to adjust CSRHub ratings to meet the particular views and needs of each different user of the application.

Application developers use CSRA to:

  • Benchmark a company’s CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) performance and compare it to the performance of the company’s peers and competitors.
  • Manage engagement with stakeholders, including rating agencies, non-government organizations, consumers, and suppliers.
  • Create investment strategies that incorporate measures of environmental social and governance value. Respond to asset owner requests to improve the impact of their investments.
  • Manage and improve corporate supply chains. CSRHub users can scan their supply chains without having to engage in costly surveys or on-site audits.
  • Perform quantitative analysis on ESG factors to uncover material signals about future company performance.
  • Study the changes in CSR performance for industries and countries, over time.

Without CSRHub’s consensus signal, it is hard to understand the different results that other ESG data sets provide. It is also hard to bridge the coverage of other data sets—since most ESG data sets cover only 3,000 to 8,000 entities. Finally, while other ESG data sets may contain more indicators, most of them are not available (not filled in). In contrast, CSRHub has stable, monthly ratings on virtually every public company and many private entities and not-for-profits. Its 12 indicators are generally completely filled in for any major company.

CSRHub also offers data on a number of special issues such as animal testing, the use of genetically modified organism, involvement in Iran, and involvement in nuclear energy. Many of CSRHub's data sources allow its users to explore the details of their data. Because of its years of experience with ESG data, CSRHub has performed many studies on the correlation between different data sets. We provide training and advice to our users that helps them maximize their return on their ESG data spend.

CSRHub is a certified B Corporation. Our mission is to use transparent access to corporate ESG data to encourage improvements in corporate sustainability behavior. Because we are mission-driven entrepreneurs, we are passionate about serving our customers and helping them change the world.
