Controversy Exposure Score

The CES (Controversies Exposure score) is a proprietary SESAMm score designed to track the level of exposure to ESG controversies through time.

The CES helps to:

  • Conduct quick risk assessments
  • Track ESG controversy exposure trends
  • Benchmark companies against their peers

What is the CES?

The CES score is based on ESG data.
It is based mainly on three factors: the intensity impact (intensity score of the event), the volume impact (volume of news associated with an event) and the novelty impact (age of the case).

The result is a continuous score between 0 and 100. A higher score means a higher level of exposure to the event.
