Features of ESG Impact Ratings
Discover ratings in line with evolving regulatory expectations
Inrate’s ratings incorporated impact materiality before the EU’s double materiality made its wave in the market. Our ratings are focused on assessing real impact and thereby align with the expectations of regulations such as the EU Taxonomy, CSRD, SFDR, and EU Green Bonds Standards.
Reduce Susceptibility to Greenwashing
Inrate's methodology delves deeper than sustainability disclosures. We combine a data-driven analysis of their real-world impact along with a rigorous assessment of a company's sustainability policies and procedures, empowering investors to avoid securities engaged in greenwashing.
Uncover the real impact of your portfolio
Inrate’s ratings are based on uncovering real impact, unbiased by corporate disclosures. With its multidimensional assessment model relying on alternative data sources and proprietary assessment models, Inrate uncovers impact dimensions that are otherwise hidden in your portfolio.
