The importance of intangible assets.
Intangible assets are responsible for 87% of the S&P 500 market value.
Companies are now aware that being leaders in sustainability issues is going to impact in corporate evaluation. Corporate sustainability is built by its intangible assets, and ESG – environmental, social and governance – factors are the main criteria to measure them.
ESG performance and value creation.
A recent study* revealed that companies with a high ESG rating performed better in terms of budgetary outcomes and stock returns. As a consequence, there is a need for new models of ESG performance analysis, which could help companies to manage risks and opportunities and to increase profit and value on the long term.

External Alternative Data as measuring factor.
Measuring ESG performance only through in-bound information (data published by the company itself) could lead to an incomplete assessment, as data is partial and the nature of such disclosure is strictly connected to the particular reporting framework chosen by the company.
Therefore integrating such assessment with the analysis of great amounts of external Alternative Data – by adopting an AI-based approach – provides a more complete view of which are the corporate opportunities in terms of performance increasement associated to specific strategies and more efficient activities.
