Inrate Expands its European Presence with Inrate SRL
As our European client base continues to grow, so does our commitment to the region.
Inrate has established Inrate SRL in Romania, a wholly owned subsidiary of Inrate AG. The new entity strengthens our presence within the European Union and reflects our continued investment in serving clients across European markets.
Inrate SRL will also represent Inrate AG vis-à-vis European regulators as the new EU regulatory framework for ESG rating providers takes effect, providing an established presence within the EU as Inrate progresses through the new regulatory environment.
A stronger European presence, built for the next phase of sustainable investment.
Responsible AI: Turning Principles into Investment Intelligence
AI is rapidly becoming a material consideration for investors, bringing new questions around governance, human rights, transparency, safety, environmental impact and accountability.
In our latest research, Aymen Karoui explores how investors can assess these emerging risks in a structured way. Using the OECD AI Principles as a guiding framework, Inrate has developed an approach that connects established responsible-AI principles with company-level sustainability indicators and controversies.
Applied to a global universe of around 10,000 companies, the research shows how responsible AI considerations can be translated into systematic investment analysis rather than treated solely as a technology or policy question.
Stewardship at an Inflection Point: From Activity to Effectiveness
Investors have more stewardship tools, data, and reporting than ever before. But more activity does not automatically mean greater influence.
In their latest article, David Mondl and Dr Catherine Marchewitz of Governance & Values examine the next evolution of active ownership: moving beyond measuring engagements, votes and milestones towards understanding whether stewardship contributes to meaningful change.
The article introduces a practical way of thinking about stewardship as a continuous cycle of objective, prioritization, intervention, influence, outcome and learning, placing effectiveness rather than volume at the center of active ownership.
Climate Transition Credibility Score: Methodology Paper
The Climate Transition Credibility Score evaluates corporate transition credibility by combining what a company says, what its business is, whether it is delivering reductions, and where it allocates capital. Designed for portfolio construction, engagement prioritization, and net-zero reporting in alignment with IFRS S2 and NZIF 2.0, the framework blends five weighted sub-signals into a single 0-to-1 score: Activity Impact (35%), Accountability (20%), Capex Alignment (20%), Emissions Performance (15%), and Ambition (10%). Grounded in peer-relative carbon intensity, demonstrable delivery against science-based pathways, and low-carbon investment, it places greater weight on measured actions overstated intentions.
