Abstract

Reprisk is an ESG research provider to leverage advanced machine learning together with highly trained analysts. Reprisk data shows the amount of ESG related-risks of the company. The report analyzes the Reprisk data of two clothing companies (Patagonia INC. and Columbia Sportswear Co) to see their performance on ESG and analyze the relationship between ESG performance and the revenue of both companies. As a result, Columbia Sportswear Co’s risks related to ESG kept decreasing during the past five years, and the revenue also shows an increasing trend. The increased emphasis on ESG has not affected the increase in profits of Columbia Sportswear Co over the years. In comparison, the current RepRisk Index floated higher when Patagonia had poor sales. This result may be proof that the investment in ESG and the profit are positively correlated. This result can advocate sustainable development for the company, as the investment in ESG will not hurt profits.
