We believe in the power of inclusive ESG principles to unite the global community in achieving sustainable development goals for the benefit of all. As investors seek to enhance the sustainability performance of their portfolios, pressure is mounting on organizations to track and improve ESG implementation.
ESG is a comprehensive framework for organizations that want to do what they do well — and enact change that matters — in our highly complex and interconnected world.

The Inclusive ESG Framework and Scoring Methodology was developed based upon 20+ interviews with leading investors under the guidance of a Steering Committee. The scoring methodology was validated with back-testing on 40 companies in 4 Ems. Investors are encouraged to incorporate Inclusive ESG into their decision-making and the design is modular to facilitate integration
