ESG Data Convergence Initiative metrics
The ESG Data Convergence Initiative is the private markets industry's attempt to make ESG data comparable: one core metric set, collected the same way by every participating manager, submitted annually and benchmarked against the rest of the cohort.
Its value is precisely that it does not vary. This dataset is the core metric set as collected from a portfolio company — the same definitions the benchmark uses, so the submission is an export rather than a translation exercise.
