BMI introduces new service to measure ESG risks in 140 markets

BMI, a subsidiary of Fitch Solutions, has launched ESG Country, which tracks, monitors, and quantifies country-level ESG risks and opportunities across 140 markets. The service offers a proprietary ESG Country Index, ESG country reports, and ESG research, providing macroeconomic, political, industry and operational risk insights. BMI’s ESG Country Index quantifies ESG risk exposure across 140 markets, with monthly updated ESG country data and a 10-year risk forecast. The index measures ESG risk to economic and business activity and incorporates environmental risk factors, including natural disasters, resource scarcity, pollution, environmental policy, and social risk factors. The ESG country reports provide country-level insight into economic sustainability expectations, political risk, growth, and fiscal impacts, as well as comparisons with regional peers, while ESG research assesses ESG risks and opportunities for specific products and markets. Cedric Chehab, global head of Country Risk, says: “BMI’s ESG Country meets a growing demand for reliable and transparent country-level ESG data, particularly in emerging markets. “Through the ESG Country Index, clients can now quantify exposure to environmental, social, and governance risk factors across global markets to help make informed investment and operational decisions.”
