MSCI ESG Ratings aim to measure a company’s resilience to long-term, financially relevant ESG risks. Companies are scored on an industry-relative AAA-CCC scale according to their exposure to ESG risks and how well they manage those risks.
MSCI ESG Research provides in-depth research, ratings and analysis of the environmental, social and governance-related business practices of thousands of companies worldwide. MSCI’s research is designed to provide critical insights that can help institutional investors identify risks and opportunities that traditional investment research may overlook.
