RS Metrics

RS Metrics is a geospatial analytics company founded in 2009 and based in Newark, United States. The company specializes in providing asset-level Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) insights derived from satellite imagery and geospatial data. Their core business focuses on delivering environmental and climate risk metrics for corporate business management, investment analysis, and performance evaluation. RS Metrics offers a global geolocation platform that maps company assets – including factories and warehouses – categorized by type, sector, and country.

A key capability of RS Metrics is the ability to generate historical datasets using satellite observations. Examples include tracking global electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing production, monitoring vehicle counts at over 65,000 retail locations in the US, and assessing the production of key metals like aluminum, copper, and iron ore at industrial sites. This data is delivered through their ESGSignals® and AssetTracker platforms, providing objective, real-time verified information.

RS Metrics serves a client base that includes corporates, asset managers, ratings agencies, and index providers, with a focus on enabling climate risk assessment for portfolios and physical assets. The company has recently expanded its operations into Europe, indicating growth and increasing market reach. They position themselves as a provider of granular, asset-level data, differentiating themselves through the depth of insight offered beyond traditional, aggregated data sources.
