BvD Integrates RepRisk ESG Data

RepRisk will integrate its ESG risk analytics and metrics into Bureau van Dijk's Orbis database, which holds details of more than 200 million private and public companies, including detailed financials, corporate ownership structures, directors and managers, and mergers and acquisitions data.

"In turn, extracts of Bureau van Dijk's company ownership information enrich our existing dataset in the RepRisk ESG Risk Platform, adding clarity to our services for clients," says Alexandra Mihailescu Cichon, head of sales and marketing at RepRisk, in a statement.

RepRisk's ESG database is used by financial institutions and corporates as a due diligence, research, and monitoring tool for risk management, compliance, investment management, corporate benchmarking, and supplier risk functions.

Louise Green, global marketing director at BvD, says demand is growing for information on ESG reputational risk today's business climate. "RepRisk is an industry leader in the field of dynamic ESG risk analytics and metrics whose data complements our own extensive combination of financial, compliance, sanctions and risk-related information, and gives our users the ability to make better-informed business decisions with a greater degree of certainty," Green adds.
