Coverage & Methodology
ESGAUGE is not a ratings agency and does not sell a score. We read what companies actually disclose across the United States, Canada, and Europe, code it to a fixed schema, and report the disclosure rate alongside the value.

The Universe
United States, Canada, and Europe — Russell 3000, 2000, and 1000; S&P 500, MidCap 400, and SmallCap 600; S&P/TSX Composite and TSX 60; S&P Europe 350; and FTSE 100, 250, and 350 constituents.
The deepest and longest-running coverage. Every solution is populated for the U.S. market, drawn from SEC filings — proxy statements, 10-Ks, 8-Ks, and sustainability reporting.
Canadian issuers tracked on the same schema as the U.S., so a provision compares like for like across the border — the basis for our cross-border say-on-pay and governance work.
European and UK issuers, with disclosure read from annual reports, remuneration reports, and sustainability statements. Reporting conventions differ by market, so fields are mapped rather than assumed equivalent.
How the Data Is Produced
Proxy statements, 10-Ks, 8-Ks, and sustainability reports. Nothing is modelled, estimated, or scored.
Every data point maps to a defined field, so a provision is captured the same way across issuers and across years.
Machine reading extracts; analysts reconcile before anything enters a solution. Disclosure rates ship with every metric.
You ask the question; we return the dataset, cut to your peer group, sector, or size band.
