Our Approach to Calculating ESG Risk
The ESG Risk Ratings measure a company's exposure to industry-specific material ESG risks and how well a company is managing those risks.
Exposure
Exposure refers to the extent to which a company is exposed to different material ESG issues. Our exposure score takes into consideration subindustry and company-specific factors such as its business model.
Management
Management refers to how well a company is managing its relevant ESG issues. Our management score assesses the robustness of a company's ESG programs, practices and policies.
