Risk Score Core & Plus

# Overview

The Risk Score provides investors and corporates with a transparent and systematic assessment of the sustainability exposure of corporate entities. The Risk Score measures company exposures, using a normative assessment, relative to universal principles of corporate conduct as defined by the ten principles of the UN’s Global Compact (GC).

The Risk Score comes with a transparent methodology and full disclosure of the underlying data. This allows users to understand the performance drivers, explain score changes at each level of the assessment, and drill down to the associated raw data. The score is designed with both investors and corporates in mind. Investors can use the score as a universe selection tool by identifying companies that are more exposed to critical sustainability issues. Corporates can use the score to systematically assess their own exposures, conduct peer comparisons, and identify disclosure gaps.

# Components

The Risk Score has two complementary offerings:

1. Risk Score – CORE: Scores showing the alignment of company practises and actions to the UNGCand<br/>their resulting sustainability exposure, based on publicly available company reported data. Scores are derived using a transparent aggregation methodology.
2. Risk Score – PLUS: The PLUS score is the CORE score including Media and NGO coverage. It accounts for incidence and risk evident in news sources and NGO reports. Combined, CORE and PLUS scores allow users to differentiate performance based on company reported data (annual) and global news (daily).
