All Information is Objective and Transparent

ASSET4 gathers all its information from publicly available sources in order to provide a level playing field for all companies we evaluate. Our objectivity is also supported by the fact that there are no conflicts of interest within ASSET4, since we are not paid by the companies we rate and do not manage funds. We are only focused on providing comprehensive, objective and impartial information to our users.

The transparency of our information comes from the fact that we are the only research information company that provides users with the complete raw data sources and content (e.g., text, title, page number, URL and publisher) for all data points, thereby ensuring that the information is auditable, traceable and completely transparent.

To ensure the highest quality of our data, every answer to every data point question goes through a multi-step verification and quality control process that begins with our researchers, organised by industry, who are collecting the information. The information is then validated by a second team organised along economic, environmental, social or corporate governance perspectives.
