Of course, IDC isn't alone. Most analyst firms are just as protective of their research. But most analyst firms don't explicitly state that they don't want anyone to read their research.

HOW DO YOU DETERMINE SHADES IN
Q: How are Markets and Categories defined?
A: Markets are defined by experts within Gartner Research, while Categories are defined by Gartner Peer Insights.
Q: What climate scenario assumptions do you make in the Shades of Green assessment?
A: An LCCR future is one aligned with the Paris Agreement, where the global average temperature increase is held below 2 degrees Celsius (2 C), with efforts to limit it to 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels. Equally, an LCCR future includes building resilience to the adverse impact of climate change and achieving sustainable outcomes for both climate and non‐climate environmental objectives.
Q: Why do you use a range of Shades rather than apply a binary approach?
A: The Shades of Green assessment is a way of determining whether a company's activities are in line with an LCCR future. Early steps in the transition to an LCCR future, represented by a Light green Shade, can involve significant emission reductions but do not represent a sustainable future. The Dark green Shade, on the other hand, signifies activities that are in line with an LCCR future.
Q: How do you determine Shades in emerging markets?
A: We believe that a low-carbon, climate-resilient future is possible, and that the transition to this future will create opportunities for those who take early action. We also believe that the speed and ambition of a jurisdiction's transition to an LCCR future can influence the risk of investments and activities.
Q: How do you determine Shades in different sectors?
A: The relevant considerations for climate and other environmental issues within a given project include technological developments and regional context informed by climate science, such as from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT AND GOAL ALIGNMENT FOR ISSUERS.
Q: What does the issuer sustainability context analysis entail?
A: We analyze how the financing contributes to addressing the issuer's most material sustainability factors, and identify the issuer's management of additional sustainability factors that we consider relevant to the financing.
Q: How do you capture social and environmental co-benefits and the potential for negative impacts in your analysis?
A: We can capture co-benefits or potential negative impacts of an activity in our SPO report by allocating a Shade to the project category, and commenting on relevant social risks or benefits as part of our review.
Q: How does your issuer sustainability context analysis account for entities that may not have sustainability teams or disclosures?
A: We analyze each sustainability factor objectively and without prejudgment, and we review each issuer's strategies based on their circumstances.
Q: How are SDG objectives mapped if the issuer does not indicate them, and how are national goals taken into account?
A: The ICMA SDG mapping is a useful tool for identifying the linkages between the activities funded by the financing and the SDGs. However, it is important to note that the mapping is not exhaustive and that there may be other linkages that are not captured by the mapping.
WILL YOU
Q: How can I set up an interview with an IDC analyst?
A: Press Contacts.
Q: When will you apply the ICMA Climate Transition Finance Handbook?
A: We will apply the handbook to all transition financing and to any other financing where climate transition is identified as a material sustainability factor.
Q: How will you evaluate issuers with nondebt instruments?
A: If a financial instrument is conceptually aligned with the relevant Principles, but does not technically match the scope of the Principles, we apply the Principles as closely as possible, after making any necessary changes to our analysis.
ALIGNMENT WITH EU TAXONOMY AND UN SDGS.
Q: What are IDC 'Industry Watch/Event Flashes'?
