Sustainability Scores
Assess how companies, funds and governments are managing environmental, social and governance issues with decision-useful sustainability scores.
Our proprietary scores build on Bloomberg’s financial markets expertise and two decades of experience compiling best-in-class sustainability datasets to provide comparable indicators of how companies, funds and governments are impacted by sustainability issues.
Incorporate data-driven scores into your investment decisions
Available via the Bloomberg Terminal or Bloomberg Data License and integrated into Bloomberg’s powerful news, analytics and research solutions, our scores are easy to incorporate into your existing investment workflow.
Clarify your perspective with quantitative insights
Bloomberg ESG Scores are based on publicly available, company-disclosed data, not subjective opinions or analyst rankings. Scores are automatically recalculated as companies release new data, ensuring that you make decisions based on the latest developments in our constantly shifting investment landscape.
Broaden your view with fully transparent data
We provide access to the frameworks, scoring methodology and company reported data underlying each Bloomberg score, including the weights and percentiles we use to calculate scores, so you can better understand company performance and employ the scores in a wide range of analysis.

Assess how well a company is managing its most significant ESG risks and opportunities relative to its industry.
Bloomberg ESG Scores focus on industry-specific risk factors driving financial impact and country-specific policies and practices. Our scoring methodology considers over 30 risk factors and dozens of sub-issues, organized into a clear hierarchy leveraging hundreds of curated ESG data points that have been deemed financially material by industry associations and standards providers such as the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) as well as Bloomberg research.
ESG Scores are maintained as a historical time series, enabling users to backtest ESG risk factors and assess how these factors have performed across industries over time.
