#### What is ESG Data? <a href="#what-is-esg-data" id="what-is-esg-data"></a>

We have added a new property to the MRS response: `brand`, as explained before. It also contains `esg.` This holds an array of participations, representing the *ESG schemes* that that **merchant** is participating in. Within each participation, there is a list of commitments. This represent whether the merchant has committed publicly to each of the goals of that scheme, and the details of each commitment.

**E.g.** ‘Mercadona’ is participating in the *United Nations Sustainable Development Goals* scheme. If you make a request with the merchant\_name of ‘Mercadona’, you will get a response containing ESG data about which of the UN goals they are committed to.
