Companies are assessed based on their management of key ESG issues relative to their industry peers. MSCI uses an ‘AAA’ to ‘CCC’ scale to rate companies, with AAAs defined as industry leaders and CCC as industry laggards.
The ratings process involves data collection across 33 ESG Key Issues, focusing on one’s that are material for a company’s respective industry. Data is gathered from publicly available data (such as annual and sustainability reports) and alternative sources, not including data reported by companies or sourced from external public data sources.
