We help our clients save time and money while making more informed choices today, without having to rely on yesterday’s stale data and outdated tools…
The OWL IQ Datasets provide the gold-standard of ESG data gathered from company disclosures, covering hundreds of ESG (Environmental, Social and Government) data points for over 8,500 global public equities.
The ESG market is overrun with data solutions offering nothing new or differentiated. Data collection is heavily dependent on error-prone human processes.
Ratings firms are unable to provide the most recent updated ESG data on a timely basis. As a result, available ESG data quickly becomes stale and inaccurate.
OWL's IQ Data provides the most up-to-date, accurate, and transparent ESG data in the industry.
Typical industry refresh rates are every 21-30 months, leading to data accuracy levels well below 50%.
OWL updates the data every six months, leading to accuracy rates consistently above 97%.
Moreover, OWL provides complete transparency to where the data was sourced, providing our clients a level of trust incomparable in the financial markets.
