ISS QualityScore Data Verification
ISS QualityScore offers institutional investors a data-driven scoring and screening solution for ESG investment risk. All companies within the ISS QualityScore coverage universe can review, verify, and provide feedback on the data used to determine their scores via a Data Verification tool accessed through the Governance Analytics platform.
Introduced in January 2022, ISS’ new data verification portal for U.S. corporations represents a major expansion of ISS’ current data verification program now used by many companies that are the subject of ISS’ proxy research and recommendations.
The program allows for verification of more than 400 governance and compensation datapoints, including those related to stock plans previously available for verification through the now-retired Equity Plan Data Verification platform.
How to participate in corporate issuer data verification:
Data verification is not available during the period between the filing of a company’s proxy statement and the publication of ISS’ proxy analysis for the company’s annual meeting.
An issuer need not be an ISS-Corporate client in order to participate in the corporate issuer data verification and there is no fee associated with data verification.
