FII Institute unveils new inclusive ESG framework and scoring methodology

The new Inclusive ESG Framework and Scoring Methodology aims to give unbiased ratings for companies in emerging markets. It has been developed with the assistance of Ernst & Young (EY), and the methodology values performance improvement more than breadth of disclosure, emphasizing sectoral challenges rather than country risks, to ensure fair competition between companies in both emerging markets and developed markets. 

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
