Identify short- and long-term risks using an impact lens
Inrate’s ratings are developed using a forward-looking rating methodology that assesses short- and long-term risks using an impact framework. Our rating methodology has stayed relevant throughout the trajectory of changes in the sustainability regulatory environment.
Reduce susceptibility to greenwashing
Inrate’s ratings are based on a reasonable focus on company’s sustainability disclosures. Combined with that assessment of day-to-day events and the impact of business activities, our ratings provide a more balanced insight into the true impact of each issuer.
Uncover companies with a positive contribution to sustainability development
Inrate’s ratings evaluate overall sustainability action rather than a unidimensional assessment of sustainability management. This enables investors to identify sustainability champions that are paving the way in the sustainable transition.
