Q. How do I find information on ESG (environmental, social and governance)?

ESG, or environmental, social and governance, is a set of metrics used to evaluate environmental and social impact. Similar metrics were previous called corporate social responsibility (CSR). 

In WRDS - see MSCI ESG Research (formerly the KLD dataset) for US company rankings.

In Bloomberg, see data on specific companies. To see ESG factors regarding a specific company:

1. Type your company's ticker.
2. Then, hit the yellow EQUITY key.
3. Type FA ESG and hit the green <GO> key.

To screen for a list of companies in Bloomberg, 

1. Type EQS and hit the green <GO> key.
2. Click on the Fields button.
3. Expand the menu for Fundamentals, then Bloomberg Fundamentals, then ESG to see a list of available variables.

4. Bloomberg also has a number of analytical templates available by entering ESG and the green <GO> key.
