What do you mean?

Agree with EY1…it depends on how the ratings are calculated. If you do best in class then maybe shell is great but should it be included in the esg index probably not

Mostly misleading. A necessary evil though.

Why are they misleading?

Mostly marketing for fund managers.

For actual actionable information I look to each individual category or even deeper. I can assure you investors care so companies care.

Which one - there are so many? E - S - G can be very different animals as they look at such different risk buckets.

Hi All,

Was just told to "grow our ESG/CSR" practice at a regional consulting firm, due to my recent grad certification in sustainable biz strategy. Wondering where I should focus us as a services industry for big impact: we have a large product innovation, digital engineering area, and know in the past we've had a lot of lip service to clients and only recorded ESG for their compliance.

Hoping to make a big difference and include CSR/Sust audits and projects beyond for our clients! Any tips?
