In addition to providing sound guidance to companies on how to manage the numerous ESG ratings providers, Aon’s “Tips for Developing a Strategy to Enhance Your ESG Ratings” includes a table that captures the key attributes of 10 widely used raters (grouped into tiers based on their reach and data verification features) to assist companies in determining which ones warrant dedication of company time and other resources. Provider-specific information includes the ratings coverage (number and types of companies or company index), ratings data sources, whether the provider offers data verification opportunities, and other helpful information, such as the size and type of the investor audience. Among the covered raters are ISS, MSCI, Sustainalytics, S&P Global, and Bloomberg.
