Country Data Quality expresses our confidence in the coverage and reliability of the data available to assess a country’s environmental, social, and governance performance. 

This metric is quantitatively measured by the proportion of ESG indicators available for each country within the model. Countries are classified into five categories: Very Good, Good, Medium, Poor, and Very Poor, based on the percentage of available indicators.

Each category is paired with a corresponding coverage statement: Very Good Coverage, Good Coverage, Moderate Coverage, Limited Coverage, or Very Limited Coverage. Countries below the minimum threshold are excluded to maintain accuracy and integrity in the ESG risk assessment.
