Core offering

Global Green Xchange (GGX) provides independent quantitative ESG ratings, raw ESG data, and ESG indices for institutional investors. The company uses a proprietary Pure Play methodology measuring approximately 20 disclosed ESG factors across Environmental, Social, and Governance segments, with human-verified data acquisition and dynamic reporting-period-over-period measurement on a 0–10 scale.

Product overview

Global Green Xchange (GGX) operates a unified platform centered on quantitative ESG ratings and data solutions, built on a 'Pure Play' approach that focuses on approximately 20 selected factors rather than hundreds of indicators. The core offering consists of three integrated products: GGX ESG Rating provides independent ratings from 0-10 based on dynamic measurement of environmental, social, and governance factors; GGX ESG Data supplies raw quality-checked company data acquired directly and updated weekly; and GGX ESG Indices delivers ready-made and customizable index solutions for institutional investors. These products form a value chain where raw ESG data feeds the rating system, which in turn powers the index creation for financial products. Notable offerings include the GGX Sustainable Dynamic Leaders Europe Index and the associated ETP+ (ESGEU) launched with Leonteq on SIX Swiss Exchange. Additional tools include the GGX Finder for filtering ESG funds and the GGX Newsflash newsletter. The company emphasizes human-sourced data over AI/robotics, complete ownership of the data value chain, transparent methodology, and affordable democratized pricing.

Direct peers

• CDP: CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) operates the global environmental disclosure system used by investors, corporates, and cities to assess climate, water, and forest impact. Comparable to GGX in producing standardized company-level environmental disclosure and scores for investor use.
• Sustainalytics: Sustainalytics (a Morningstar company) is a leading ESG and corporate governance research, ratings, and analytics firm serving asset managers and asset owners. Competes head-to-head with GGX in ESG ratings, ESG data products, and index/themed product support.
• ISS ESG: ISS ESG, part of Institutional Shareholder Services, provides ESG ratings, climate data, and screening solutions to institutional investors globally. Closely comparable to GGX in target buyer (asset managers, banks, asset owners) and product type (ratings + data + indices).

Emerging players

• RepRisk: RepRisk provides ESG and business conduct risk data and analytics, leveraging AI and human analysis on news and stakeholder sources to flag ESG controversies for investors. Comparable to GGX's human-verified data approach but specializing in ESG risk events rather than factor-based ratings.
• EcoVadis: EcoVadis provides business sustainability ratings focused on supply-chain ESG performance used by procurement teams and increasingly by financial investors. Partially overlaps with GGX in company-level ESG scoring, with a stronger procurement/corporate buyer base.
• Clarity AI: Clarity AI provides AI-driven ESG ratings, impact metrics, and sustainable investment analytics for investors and corporates. Direct overlap with GGX's ESG ratings/data products but differentiated by an AI/machine-learning methodology at greater scale.

Broad incumbents

• MSCI ESG Research: MSCI is the largest provider of ESG ratings and data to institutional investors, offering company-level ESG ratings, climate metrics, and sustainable investing analytics. Direct overlap with GGX's core rating and index offerings, but at vastly greater scale and broader coverage.
• Bloomberg ESG Data: Bloomberg provides ESG company-level data, scores, and analytics embedded in the Bloomberg Terminal to asset managers and investment banks. Overlaps with GGX's ESG data and rating offering but distributed as part of a far broader market data platform.
• Moody's ESG Solutions: Moody's ESG Solutions (acquired from SynTao/S&P/FTSE/RMS) provides ESG scores, climate, and sustainable finance analytics to banks and investors. Operates in the same ratings and analytics category as GGX but as part of a much larger credit-rating platform.
• S&P Global ESG / Trucost: S&P Global ESG (incorporating Trucost, SAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment) provides ESG scores, carbon data, and sustainability indices including the Dow Jones Sustainability Index family. Highly comparable index and rating products to GGX's, embedded in a much larger data and index franchise.
