Governance & Accountability Institute is an independent private sector research, knowledge management, news monitoring and intelligence-gathering service provider. The Institute staff and team of networked advisors provide strategic advisory services to clients in the investment, corporate and social sectors. 

In our daily work we identify, profile, monitor and analyze the activities of key global Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) capital market players. We watch the watchers…who are monitoring the corporate and investment communities, and shaping corporate valuations and reputations.

For decades the valuation of corporations was focused strictly on the financials….the tangible metrics…the numbers. But that’s changing…rapidly.

Today, intangible, non-financial factors are being analyzed, measured, calculated and rated by a growing universe of third party providers and investors, and are accounting for an ever increasing portion of a company’s overall valuation (some estimates are as high as 50%). The intangible has indeed become very tangible.

These ESG factors / Sustainability corporate performance indicators are – and will continue to be – important in separating the leaders and laggards in the capital markets and determining the risk profile of public enterprises.
