Discover UNGC violations based on insights from Inrate’s sustainability impact assessments. Inrate’s UNGC assessment involves research that goes beyond corporate disclosures by incorporating insights from controversies, impact rating grades, and adverse product screening, delivering a holistic and objective assessment of UNGC compliance.

Global Standards Screening: Multidimensional Assessment of UNGC Compliance

Inrate’s UNGC screening services use a multidimensional approach to identify violations across each UNGC theme – Human Rights, Labor, Environment, and Anti-Corruption. This ensures we avoid biases that would arise from a sole focus on corporate disclosures and enables efficient reputational risk management.

The impact of each controversy and the degree of company involvement is assessed using controversy scores from 0 to 1. Clients can choose their thresholds for controversy scores beyond which a company would be deemed in violation of a UNGC theme.

ESG Impact Ratings

The Labor (L) and Environment (E) grades are a reflection of a company’s performance across L and E related KPIs from Inrate’s Impact Ratings. Clients can choose their thresholds of L and E grades beyond which a company would be deemed in violation of relevant UNGC themes.
