ESG Ratings
ESG Rating systems
Economic, Social and Governacne (ESG) rating systems constitute a set of criteria that assess corporate commitments, performance, and sustainability goals. Such rating systems are usually managed by third-party entities. ESG ratings are used by investors - individuals and firms - to screen and guide their portfolios, and by the companies themselves to better orient strategies towards their customers and partners. Some well-known ESG rating systems include:
ISS Institutional Shareholder Services
Moody's ESG Score Predictor
MSCI Morgan Stanley Capital International
S&P Standard and Poor - Global ESG Scores
Sustainalytics ESG Risk Ratings
