Delivered through a broad range of delivery channels, investors can easily ingest Governance QualityScore into their own internal processes to leverage scores within internal workflow platforms.

Distinct Methodology for Assessing Companies’ Corporate Governance Risk

Governance QualityScore uses a decile-based score that indicates a company’s governance risk, where 1 is low risk and 10 is high risk.

The methodology focuses on the qualitative aspects of governance, including global governance standards and alignment with ISS voting policy in each region.

 

Our annual methodology review ensures that the methodology remains aligned with the ISS benchmark policies as they adapt to reflect developments in regulatory and market practice.
