ESG ratings and certifications

ESG ratings assess a company’s performance in environmental, social, and governance areas, providing investors and stakeholders with insights into its sustainability practices and risks. These ratings are typically issued by third-party agencies focussing on topics like carbon emissions, labour practices, diversity, and corporate transparency. ESG certifications, on the other hand, validate a company’s adherence to specific sustainability standards, serving as formal recognition of its commitment to responsible business practices.
