What is a good Sustainalytics ESG score?

A score below 20 is considered strong (Low or Negligible Risk). The lower the score, the better your ESG risk management appears.

How is the Sustainalytics risk rating different from ESG ratings like MSCI or S&P?

Sustainalytics focuses on ESG risk—not just policies or disclosures. It is risk-based, while others may focus more on ESG opportunities or commitments.

Can I improve my Sustainalytics score?

Yes. With the right ESG policies, disclosures, and internal systems, we can help reduce your unmanaged risk score.

Does Sustainalytics require company-submitted data?

Yes. While Sustainalytics also uses publicly available data, proactive engagement and structured submissions improve score accuracy.

Is Sustainalytics recognized by investors?

Absolutely. Sustainalytics ratings are widely used by asset managers, ESG funds, and institutional investors globally.
