What is a Corporate Sustainability Assessment?
A Corporate Sustainability Assessment is a structured evaluation of how a company manages environmental, social, and governance matters. It may consider topics such as resource use, workforce practices, business conduct, and risk management. Assessment results can help inform sustainability benchmarks and indexes, though the topics and scoring methods depend on the assessment provider.
What does an ESG index measure?
An ESG index tracks or selects companies using criteria related to environmental, social, and governance performance. Depending on its methodology, it may assess issues such as emissions, labor practices, board oversight, and business ethics. Inclusion indicates that a company met the index’s selection criteria; it does not by itself describe every aspect of that company’s sustainability performance.
