Our ESG research
We see that many clients struggle with understanding the scope of an ESG research report, therefore we have made this library of ESG risks.
Our research is based on a solid methodology framework that is based on standard ESG research approach and strengthened with EFFAS’ CESGA certified analysts.
We give you details about our approach and processes to ensure that you understand what our ESG ratings are measuring.

Warning on ESG ratings
!
An ESG rating has in itself limited value, it is to be considered a starting point for the work of digging into the details to understand the ESG risks of a company. The urgency is to address the companies where the combination of financial opportunity/risk and ESG risk rating is weak.
What counts is the fundamental ESG research report, you need to understand the specific ESG risks of the companies in your portfolio.
Our reports contain these details including the Engagement questions to ask the company. Read more about this here: ESG* integration – What is the main value of an ESG score or ESG rating?
