Experts
NRG Metrics is created from a team of market professionals
and academic researchers on the field of corporate
governance.
By concentrating the experience and the knowledge from
various types of academic backgrounds such as corporate
finance, accounting, and management and of course
corporate governance, we decided to create an independent
corporate governance research firm.
Our goal is to provide accurate data about corporate
governance. We strongly believe that the lack of information
on corporate governance matters and especially on the
field of ownership structure is an important disadvantage.
Our goal is to fill this gap.
Our mission is to provide an independent and the same time
an accurate data of corporate governance of listed firms in
different places of the world.
In order to build our database we have created an analysis
team that collects data from annual reports, sec filings,
corporate governance reports etc.

Data Collection Procedure
Other info FAQ
Corporate Governance Report
The Corporate Governance Report is a common report for each
of the 5.500 companies that we collect data in our database. The
reason why we create this report is because we believe that is very
important for our customers to see all the information regarding
corporate governance for every company. More specifically, the
user is able to see the members of the Board of Directors, the
characteristics of the board members (age, tenure, other public
boards, occupation, classification etc.), the ownership structure
(all the large shareholders, the board shareholdings etc.). All this
information is difficult to present through an excel file.
