ESG ratings: how countries perform on sustainability

Europe dominates the top of our ESG rankings, accounting for nine of the top ten countries that receive an overall A rating—defined as a country that has a significant positive impact on sustainability. Notably low in the rankings are emerging states with poor governance, including Sudan (150th), Iran (149th) and Yemen (148th).

In this webinar, EIU’s analyst explored our country-level ESG ratings and essential developments shaping the sustainability agenda.
