Sustainability is measurable – ESG ratings are objective, transparent, and comparable

In today’s world, companies that cannot demonstrate good environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance bear the risk of having this negatively impact their business relationships. With an ESG rating based on an assessment conducted by an external entity, companies demonstrate their sustainability performance in a transparent, credible manner, thereby fulfilling the information needs of their shareholders and stakeholders. 

In addition, ESG ratings offer the advantage of providing clear, tangible evidence that your company has met the regulatory requirements related to its business operations. ESG ratings are thus also a valuable tool for those in the company responsible for managing sustainability issues and risks. In the long term, it also helps the company remain attractive to the target groups.
