ESG Data Tool 

The Rustandy Center aims to promote awareness and proficiency in Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) data to advance social impact research by providing data support through a web-based ESG Data Tool. The ESG Data Tool allows you to explore and compare ESG datasets by topic or keyword to identify relevant variables, access linking tips, and view detailed procurement information.

Chicago Booth faculty, PhD students, and staff researchers can access this page here. For more information on the ESG Data Tool or how you can gain access, contact the Rustandy Center's Research Team.
