RS Metrics named an IDC Innovator in Location and Geospatial Data

STAMFORD, CT, UNITED STATES, December 1, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- RS Metrics was recently named an IDC Innovator in the IDC Innovators: Location and Geospatial Data, 2021 (doc #US47643221, November 2021) report. The IDC Innovators report profiles four companies offering data solutions that address the growing needs of organizations to curate, interpret, and utilize information with a location and/or geospatial component.

“In our conversations with Wall Street analysts, we have noticed an increasing level of sophistication on climate, environmental and physical risks” said Maneesh Sagar, CEO of RS Metrics. “In particular, there is growing awareness of how all the different elements of corporate environmental performance tie together. What this means is that the same beleaguered executives, who are just getting off their heels in responding to emissions, are increasingly having to answer a litany of questions on biodiversity, water stress, physical risk etc. This pressure will of course only intensify due to what we at RS Metrics call “involuntary transparency”, namely the ability to use geospatial to peer directly into corporate environmental performance. As the general public finds out how poorly current environmental measurements are taken (very rough estimates for emissions, not at all for measures like biodiversity), public scrutiny will only intensify.

RS Metrics' ESGSignals® uses a wide array of satellite and geospatial data (over 100 data sources) and through its proprietary AssetTracker® database (5 million asset locations mapped to corporate ownership; available as a separate product offering) measures the overall environmental performance and risk of assets such as factories, refineries and power plants. Asset level data on the ESGSignals® platform covers over 30 metrics which include emissions, land usage, biodiversity, water stress, acute and chronic physical risk.

RS Metrics' application of AI and ML on both structured and unstructured sensor data provides a rich set of environmental and physical risk metrics across all key areas. The ESGSignals® platform leverages RS Metrics’ pioneering work in the geospatial analytics space and the proprietary AssetTracker® database to provide an innovative and scalable ESG tracking platform that can independently collect, quantify and monitor major ESG metrics. Geospatial is the only data measurement technology that can provide a wide array of environmental and climate physical risk data at scale on a cost-effective basis.

RS Metrics solutions encompass ESG ratings & scores (Ratings Agencies), environmental sustainability assessment (Corporates), sustainability finance solutions (ESG Ratings & Solution Providers), integration for ESG indices (Sustainability Index Providers), due diligence and monitoring solutions (Private Equity), regulatory solutions for SFDR and TCFD reporting (ESG Solution Providers) to enhanced solution for portfolio construction & analytics (Asset Management)
