ESG Peer Comparison &
Positioning Report

ESG ratings can vary dramatically between rating agencies due to differences in methodology, subjective interpretation, market cap size, location or industry. ESG Is not an exact science.

The journey starts here. Understanding how your company compares to industry peers and companies in other industry segments, as well as considering stakeholder (employees, community) and investor perceptions of your company’s ESG activities, provides an invaluable baseline for creating and monitoring your ESG strategy.

ESG Best Practices &
Action Plan

Rating agencies rely on public information to cull data for ESG scoring.

It’s critical for a company to understand the broadly accepted ESG metric categories and identify best practices and constructive actions for addressing areas of improvement. Establishing a plan for achieving improvements and communicating the effectiveness of your activities will help improve ESG scoring.
