RepRisk AG is an environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) data science company, specialized in ESG and business conduct risk research and quantitative solutions. RepRisk is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland.[1][2][3]

The company runs an online searchable database on the risk exposure of companies, projects, sectors and countries related to ESG issues.[4] It methodically assesses on a daily basis the risks, allegations, and criticism related to issues such as environmental degradation, human rights abuses, child labor, forced labor, fraud and corruption that can impact an organization's reputation, financial profitability, or lead to compliance issues.[2][3][5][6][7][8][9] The database is used by financial institutions and corporations as a risk research and monitoring tool.

The database includes as of October 2018 over 110,000 companies[10] and 27,000 projects reported to have links to ESG risks.[11][12] The database also analyzes ESG risks related to sectors and countries. It also includes data on ESG issues and topics, over 18,000 NGOs, and over 13,000 governmental bodies.

History

RepRisk was formed in 1998 as ECOFACT, a Zurich-based environmental and social risk consultancy focused on the financial sector. In 2006, its ESG risk database was created at the request of a banking client. In 2010, RepRisk split from the consultancy and became an independent company.[12]

Methodology

Research scope and process

RepRisk screens on a daily basis about 80,000 public sources and external stakeholders, including international and local print and online media, news websites, newsletters, NGOs, governmental bodies, think tanks, blogs and Twitter,[5] in 20 languages. This screening is done to identify companies and projects that have been linked to ESG-related risk events. RepRisk monitors 28 ESG issues (for example local pollution, child labor or tax evasion) and 57 topic tags, or "hot topics" (such as palm oil, Arctic drilling, indigenous people, coal, or water scarcity).[3][13][14] The research scope is defined in accordance with international standards and norms, such as the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).[3]

The analysis process has multiple steps and is entirely rules-based. Artificial and human intelligence help translate big data into curated research and metrics. The first step is the screening of the sources through a proprietary artificial intelligence tool, where risk incidents are being pre-selected through advanced text and metadata extraction from unstructured content and undergo multilingual de-duplication and clustering processes. An analyst then studies the adverse incidents to define the severity and novelty of the event, in line with international standards.The relevant entities such as companies, projects, sectors, and countries, are linked to the risk event and a title and summary are written. After that, the news undergo a quality check, before the data is added to the database, the RepRisk ESG Risk Platform.[12][15]

RepRisk Index (RRI)

The RepRisk Index (RRI) is a proprietary risk metric that quantifies a company's exposure to ESG and business conduct risks. The RRI score can range from zero (lowest) to 100 (highest) and the higher the value of the score, the higher the risk exposure. Companies that have been exposed to higher levels of criticism in the past are less sensitive to new adverse events and allegations, in comparison to a company that experiences a first-time incident. If a company does not experience new criticism, their score will eventually drop to zero over a maximum period of two years.[16][17]

A Current RRI value indicates the current media and stakeholder exposure of a company, project, sector or country. The Peak RRI is an overall risk exposure indicator that indicates the highest level of criticism over the past two years.citation needed

The RRI score is calculated based on a number of factors, including the influence of the source of the information, the frequency and timing of criticisms, and the novelty and severity of the criticism.

There are also risk metrics for projects, sectors, countries, and other entities.

RepRisk Rating (RRR)

The RepRisk Rating (RRR) is a proprietary risk metric ranging from AAA to D, similar to a credit rating but for ESG risks. It is available for companies only. It combines a company’s own ESG risk exposure with the ESG risk exposure of the countries and sectors in which the company has been exposed to risks. Both the Rating and the RRI are updated daily for all companies in the [1][null database].[17][18]

RepRisk UN Global Compact Violator Flag

It allows to identify companies that have a high or a potential risk of violating one or more of the ten UNGC Principles. With the Flag, it is also possible to see if the UNGC violations are primarily linked to the operations or to the supply chain  of a company.[19]

External use of data

  • FactSet used RepRisk as their first third party provider of environment, social, and governance (ESG) and business conduct risk data on the new Open:Factset Marketplace Platform.
  • UBS was RepRisk's first client and in 2010, as part of a broader corporate responsibility initiative, UBS expanded its global compliance database to include information gathered about environmental and social risks by RepRisk. The data is applied to companies, prospective sourcing partners and investment clients to identify risks that could impact the bank's reputation and financial performance.[20][21] In 2011, UBS expanded its global compliance database to include information on environmental and social issues provided by RepRisk, a global research firm specialized in environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) risk analytics and metrics. This was done in an effort to mitigate environmental and social risks that could impact the bank's reputation or financial performance and to simultaneously help globally standardize and systematically implement the firm's due diligence processes. RepRisk data is used in the on-boarding process to screen potential new clients and sourcing partners, alongside periodic client reviews and, also, to evaluate the risks related to transactions in investment banking and institutional lending.[22][23]
  • Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) / RobecoSAM: RobecoSAM uses RepRisk as part of the Media and Stakeholder Analysis section of its Corporate Sustainability Assessment for the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, in order to identify companies' involvement in environmental, economic and social situations that may have a damaging effect on their reputation and core business.[24][25] Once a company is listed on the DJSI, it is monitored daily for any critical arising issues, which can lead to the exclusion of the company if deemed critical enough. Examples of events that would lead to exclusion include: commercial practices, human rights abuses, layoffs or worker disputes, or catastrophic disasters. This monitoring is supported by RepRisk, a global research firm and provider of environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk data. RepRisk screens media outlets, stakeholder groups and other publicly available sources to identify risks related to these issues. The information gathered is then systematically analyzed and quantified. If a critical event happens, the situation is analyzed by RobecoSAM for the scope in which it reaches. If large enough, the event will be analyzed further based on severity, media coverage, and crisis management. RobecoSAM analysts decide from here whether the company will be excluded from the DJSI. An assurance report is completed by Deloitte to ensure the validity of the company's information.[26]
  • FTSE: RepRisk data is among the ESG data providers used by FTSE in their ESG methodology for various benchmarks.[27]
  • The Norwegian Global Pension Fund selected RepRisk in 2009. RepRisk was selected again in 2013.[28][29] To support the ethical screening process, the Council on Ethics works with RepRisk ESG Business Intelligence, a global research firm and provider of environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk data. RepRisk monitors the companies in the Norwegian Pension Fund's portfolio for issues such as severe human rights violations, particularly regarding child labor, forced labor, and violations of individual rights in conflict areas, as well as gross environmental degradation and corruption. RepRisk has been working with the Council on Ethics since 2009 and in 2014, re-won the tender for ESG data provision for 2014-2017.[30]
  • First State Investments: RepRisk is used to screen companies in their portfolios and for company engagement.[31]
  • BASF: RepRisk data is used in part to screen the suppliers of BASF for ESG-related risks.[32]
  • The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) uses RepRisk data as an input for the development of sustainability accounting standards by supporting its evidence-based research.[33]
  • Carbon Disclosure Project: RepRisk's data serves as an input in the evaluation of companies for CDP's Climate Performance Leaders and Water Performance Leaders, which outlines the top companies around the world that are doing the most to combat climate change and to manage their water resources, respectively. RepRisk's data adds to the current evaluation process by validating company-provided information and clarifying how a company's policies, commitments and initiatives translate into performance.[34][35][36][citation needed]
  • UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI): The RepRisk database is used by the UNPRI's Investment Engagement team.[34]
  • Global 100 Ranking: RepRisk's assessment data was incorporated in the sanctions portion of the screening of the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World annual ranking and sustainability equity index managed by Corporate Knights Capital.[37][38]
  • World's Most Ethical Companies ranking: RepRisk's data is used as part of the 2015 evaluation process to validate self-reported scores provided by companies who completed the Ethics Quotient survey, the underlying framework for the World's Most Ethical Companies designation published by Ethisphere.[39][40][41]
  • 2014 Newsweek Green Rankings: Newsweek incorporated RepRisk assessments of reputational risk for companies for the "Reputation Score" indicator in their 2014 Green Rankings. The Newsweek Green Rankings are one of the world's most recognized assessments of corporate environmental performance.[42]
  • Ecolab: RepRisk’s Industry and Country Risk scores are available in the risk analysis section of the Water Risk Monetizer developed by Ecolab.

Research

  • The Effect Of Bad News On Credit Risk (Research Study): Julian Koelbel, a PhD student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, used RepRisk data in the research study: The effect of bad news on credit risk: a media based view of the pricing of corporate social responsibility. The paper, which won an Award for Excellence in Responsible Investment Research at the UN PRI's annual Academic Network conference in 2013, highlighted that more negative news on CSR issues are associated with higher credit default swap spreads.[34] The study is published in the Strategic Management Journal.
  • ESG Alpha in China (Research Study): Michael Barnett of the Centre for Corporate Reputation at Oxford University, and Jimmy Chen, Andreas Hoepner and Qian Li from the Centre for Responsible Banking & Finance at the University of St Andrews, used RepRisk data as the basis for their recent research paper, "ESG Alpha in China." The research paper, which investigated the effect of ESG risks on the share performance of Chinese firms and found that ESG criteria can be used to generate alpha for investments in Chinese companies, won the European PRI award in the category of Investment Strategy.[53]
  • Kepler Cheuvreux: Kepler Cheuvreux and Affectio Mutandi included RepRisk data in their Soft Law Violation & Liability research report, one of a series of reports produced by the company surrounding business ethics.[54] Kepler Cheuvreux also featured RepRisk in its “The Responsible Investor Playbook” published in [null]2016.
