ESG Services

Investors now have a tool to assess a company's sustainability performance in addition to its financial success, thanks to ESG risk ratings. This is crucial because investors are searching for businesses that show a dedication to sustainability and corporate responsibility. ESG risk ratings offer a standardized method to assess and contrast firms' ESG performance, which may assist investors in making value-aligned investing decisions. 

To improve investment decision-making and encourage sustainable investing habits, this whitepaper seeks to provide investors with a better knowledge of the potential uses of ESG risk ratings. 

Key Takeaways:

  • In recent years, the demand for ESG ratings has skyrocketed. Even though it has existed for a decade, the term "ESG" was seldom used by the investing community or in company boardrooms.
  • Companies that successfully manage ESG risks will stand out from their competitors and draw in investors who value ESG performance.
  • ESG risk ratings offer insight into how exposed a company is to ESG variables that could affect its long-term performance, which can assist investors in identifying possible risks and opportunities.
  • Investors may also utilize ESG risk ratings by adjusting the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) to consider ESG risks.
  • Best-in-class strategies (BIC) strategies invest in companies with greater ESG risk ratings than their competitors in the same industry. 
  • Investors may be able to lower the risks associated with subpar ESG performance and gain from the long-term development potential of sustainable themes by investing in firms with good ESG profiles.
