How do impact investors use our ESG Rating Service?

Benchmark and compare ESG credentials across your investment portfolio using EIU’s consistent and independent data, curated with the same rigour as our comprehensive country and industry analysis.

Inform your ESG investment strategy

Unique to EIU, we publish environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings at a sovereign-level. This provides investment teams with a comparable measure of the sustainability credentials of governments and businesses.

We provide quarterly ratings for 150 countries, measuring 90 indicators to give an informed and holistic view of ESG risk. Evaluating social freedoms and corporate ethics to progress on decarbonisation, these insights can be viewed through our interactive global map and data tables, or downloaded and integrated into internal models.

Through our data, we empower financial institutions to benchmark markets with strong short-term ESG credentials, and those that offer longer-term investment opportunities.

To supplement our data, we publish a quarterly white paper. This provides in-depth analysis of recent country score changes and a forward-looking view of the economic, geopolitical and policy trends shaping ESG progress.

We also provide historical ESG scores and indicators dating back to 2015, enabling investors to analyse how policy initiatives and regulations have changed the sustainability landscape over time.

Our expert quantitative and qualitative insights make it easy to understand which countries are delivering on global ESG mandates and which present risks to portfolio performance.
