Leveraging over 25 years of ESG Research & Rating expertise
Our proprietary research and rating methodology has been consistently updated and developed across more than 25 years, aiming to deliver high-quality, material and forward looking sustainability data on a company’s sustainability performances.
This methodology is used to support our EU Taxonomy solution, sharing a similar assessment approach for an economic activity’s contribution to sustainable development. Both consider the impacts associated with an activity holistically along the respective value chain and are highly sector-specific.
