Long-horizon, financially relevant ESG time series for risk management, investment analysis and systematic index applications
Since 2009 the SD-KPInform Database 2009 has been structured for over 60+ industries and 15,000+ companies — with early sector-specific prioritization and documented conceptual overlap with the SASB industry framework (2016).
SD-KPI Standards were developed between 2009 and 2016 using a sector-specific financial materiality logic, anticipating later standardization efforts in sustainability reporting and risk disclosure. In 2016, SASB noted “a high degree of overlap” between SD-KPI analysis and SASB standards and appreciated the SD-KPI approach to ranking and prioritizing sustainability topics per industry.
Across multiple market cycles, the SD-KPIndex Family has demonstrated positive excess return differentials.
