The case for an ESG impact rating of countries
After decades of experience in the field of extra-financial evaluation, CSR, SRI and Sustainable Finance in general, we were not satisfied with the solutions available on the market: we found there too much subjectivity, a heterogeneous quality in the ratings, a too long duration between the updates, a risk-based approach not aligned with the necessity to track and demonstrate the real impact of an investment, etc.
— PRI CEO, Fiona Reynolds, Dec. 2019
Investing for sustainability impact is the new frontier for responsible investment, with a stronger focus on how investment decisions have real world impact on ESG factors over financial materiality
For the here above reasons, we decided to craft our own approach: after months of research and development we ended with our proprietary methodologies of ESG Impact rating, for countries, territories and cities, listed companies, and investment portfolios: IMPACTIN was born, with the vision that Impact Investment is the next step for Sustainable Finance, and that high-quality Impact ratings are required to fuel the development of the growing Impact Investment landscape.
The IMPACTIN Countries ESG Impact Rating dataset solution is one of our ESG Impact Rating dataset solutions, providing 48 impact scores and their trends for 218 countries, allowing to individualize the impact of countries through many dimensions: Smart Infrastructures, Smart Health, Prosperity, Climate Change Transition, contribution to the 17 SDGs, etc.
We have several other data products on their way, which will be released in the coming weeks — stay tuned!
