Datasets for the article: "Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) investment analysis and population health: An analysis of ESG frameworks for the food and beverage sector"

This is the dataset for the following manuscript: Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) investment analysis and population health: An analysis of ESG frameworks for the food and beverage sector (published in TBD).

The first file (Mapped metrics) shows the metrics that we extracted from the ESG frameworks and mapped to the HEALTH-CORP-FB typology. The metrics from the Bloomberg and S&P Global ESG Rating systems are excluded as this data is proprietary and we are not able to share it publicly. The metrics for the GRI Standards, SASB Standards, and JUST Capital Rankings can be accessed publicly at the websites of the respective organizations. The file contains information on the document version dates that we used in this study. 

The second file (Coded metrics) displays the classifications that we assigned to each mapped metric for the attributes of relevance, type of business operations, and data type. For industry-specific frameworks, only metrics mapped to the HEALTH-CORP-FB typology from the "processed food" sub-industry were coded. Specifically, we classified the fields in the SASB Processed Foods industry, the Bloomberg Packaged Food subindustry, and the S&P Global Food Products subindustry. For non-industry specific frameworks, we classified all of the mapped fields (i.e., GRI, JUST Capital). The file contains information on the document version dates that we used in this study.
