SDI AOP data now available via Equity Data Science (EDS)

We are excited to announce that SDI AOP subscribers, in addition to the BlackRock technology platform Aladdin, can now directly access SDI AOP data via Equity Data Science (EDS) in cooperation with our global distributor Qontigo. Equity Data Science, Inc. (EDS) is a global investment process management solutions provider.

Access to the SDI AOP dataset enables investors to embed the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into any investment process through an extensive number of quantitative and qualitative data points that assess both positive and negative contributions towards the SDGs. Our goal is to provide investors with a standard for investing into the SDIs and to accelerate their adoption.

Currently, clients can choose between two products:

  • The Data Classification measures positive and negative product and service-related contributions to the SDGs and sustainability-related themes based predominantly on revenues.
  • The SDI Innovation Outlook analyses companies’ patent portfolios through the lens of the SDI AOP taxonomy.


SDI AOP continues to develop a family of products centered around the SDI taxonomy. With more than 9,000 companies covered, the SDI AOP data has broad coverage across a capital markets portfolio.
