In the second installment of our ESG Risk Ratings white paper series, we assess the unmanaged ESG risk of 42 Internet Software and Services (ISS) companies. In addition, the report offers a comprehensive ESG risk analysis of the subindustry and concludes with a case study of Facebook.
Based on our analysis, we find 72 percent of the ISS subindustry’s ESG risk exposure if unmanaged, compared to an average of 65 percent across all subindustries. The main sources of ESG risk exposure for ISS firms include corporate governance, data privacy and security, and human capital.
