RATING IMPACT: TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR ESG RATINGS – WITH SYSTEM, DATA & IMPACT

Do you want to improve your ESG ratings – but not fly blind? 

We make ESG ratings transparent, manageable, and strategically valuable – enabling you to achieve better results with MSCI, ISS ESG, EcoVadis, Sustainalytics, and other rating agencies. 

With our ESG Rating Impact Tool™, you gain full visibility into rating logic, identify the key levers, and make your ESG performance measurable, manageable, and capital-market ready. 

From Blackbox to ESG Rating Roadmap 

Quantity becomes Priority: The number of ESG ratings and data requests continues to rise. Instead of chasing multiple assessments, regain control and manage them strategically — backed by data, benchmarks, and actionable insights. 

Systematic Analysis

Based on real rating weightings, peer benchmarks, and best practices from over 1,300 corporate disclosures.

Relevant Insights

We show you exactly what drives your ESG ratings at MSCI, ISS ESG, EcoVadis & Co. – and where small, targeted actions can deliver significant score improvements.

Managing Multiple Ratings

Our scenarios visualize how specific actions impact different ratings, aligned with the unique methodologies of each agency.

Digestible Insights

Interactive dashboards translate complex data into clear visualizations – highlighting your pain points, quick wins, and strategic opportunities in a fact-based and decision-ready format.

Designed for Strategic Integration 

Your results can be directly applied to: 

  • Your sustainability strategy 
  • Your investor relations communication 
  • Your ESG reporting 

 

The outcome: a holistic, impact-oriented ESG rating approach that not only improves individual scores but also strengthens your long-term understanding and performance structure. 

On request, we also translate your ESG achievements into rating-relevant language – structured, evidence-based, and aligned with the expectations of investors, agencies, regulators, and key stakeholders.
