Quantitative ESG analysis involves numerical, measurable data that can be compared across companies and time periods.
Why A (Issuer-reported carbon emissions) is correct:
Carbon emissions data (Scope 1, 2, and 3) is measurable and numeric, often reported in metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (MTCO₂e).
This data can be used in financial models to assess climate risk.
Why not B or C?
B (Executive compensation policies) are qualitative, as linking pay to ESG goals involves policy assessments rather than hard data.
C (Investments and policies credibility) involves subjective judgment rather than numerical data.
