The new platform is launching with access to Moody’s physical and transition climate risk data sets for 10,000 large companies globally, including information on company exposure to specific physical risk hazards, carbon footprint, temperature alignment, brown share and green share data, and data on controversies. Moody’s stated that it plans to expand the platform over the coming months with ESG insights and coverage of millions of public and private companies through a combination of modelled and ESG analyst-verified scores.

The platform also provides clear labeling of data points allowing users to trace data to its source and understand relevance to industry standards.
