Shaping the future of ESG through leadership
An independent rating is only as trustworthy as the people who stand behind it. Here is who builds the product, who governs the methodology, and who advises the business. The rating rules are owned by a methodology committee, separate from the commercial team, so no client relationship can move a score.

Methodology committee
The committee owns the scoring rules. It reviews and approves every methodology change, sets the criteria weights, and signs off each versioned release. It sits apart from the commercial team so that pricing and client relationships never influence how a company is scored.

Criteria and weights, verification level definitions, tier bands, controversy severities, and the transition rules that protect existing ratings when the method changes. Decisions are recorded against a methodology version and published in the changelog.
