ESG Risk Ratings

As environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations become a part of every investment process, investors are increasingly focusing on which ESG issues are most material. Yet ESG-related risks can be numerous, often opaque, and usually vary across sectors. Investors need tools that help them to identify material ESG risks within portfolio companies, understand the potential magnitude of the risk and enable them to compare companies across sectors.

Sustainalytics’ ESG Risk Ratings are designed to help investors identify and understand financially material ESG risks at the security and portfolio level and how they might affect the long-term performance for equity and fixed income investments. The ESG Risk Ratings, combined with qualitative analyses, provide clients with a differentiated risk signal and deeper insights into the materiality of certain ESG issues for a company and what the company is or is not doing to manage them effectively
