A clear improvement in ESG ratings is possible! ISS, MSCI, S&P and Sustainalytics - these are the “Big Four” ESG rating agencies. We have now once again succeeded in significantly improving the ESG rating of a listed company with one of these leading ESG rating agencies. In this case, for the fourth time in a row since 2020, the company is now in the top 10% of the industry, having been a long way off in 2020. Four years ago - and thus at the start of our consultancy - the company was only in the top 90% of the relevant rating provider. https://lnkd.in/eCbNy9_6 Another ESG rating agency from the “Big Four” has also achieved a clear improvement in its ESG rating over the past three years. The company is now also among the top 10% across the industry. In 2021, it was still in the top 60%. One thing is certain for us: with a systematic approach and precise communication, the ESG ratings of all leading ESG rating agencies can be continuously improved! You can find a specific case study on this topic, which was presented as part of a webinar, at the following link https://lnkd.in/e89KR2iv If you would like to find out more, please contact us. We will be happy to advise you. https://lnkd.in/eWwXGbyz Our ESG Services --> have a look 😊 https://lnkd.in/ecDCkZxB
