The Partnership in Action

Company Ratings
We assess your overall ESG maturity and identify the priority areas that need to be addressed. This provides you with an invaluable point of departure, based on four critical themes:
- Environmental concerns
- Labor and human rights
- Sustainable procurement
- Ethics
This enables you to identify priorities across policies, actions and results, and also take steps to mitigate risks. We’ll provide multiple scorecards, a subsidiary assessment and reporting dashboard, and other essential tools to inform your ESG strategy.
Peer Group Benchmarks

Your point of departure and ESG goal-setting can benefit from a better understanding of what your peer companies are doing: what’s their level of ESG maturity, and what risk mitigation steps have they taken?

These insights can help you identify red flags in your ow organization, and explore value creation opportunities, inspired by what the top performing companies are doing. We provide anonymized maturity ratings and scorecards, including an overall score on a 1-100 basis and weighted scores across critical themes and management indicators.
Supplier Base Ratings

We rank up to 500 of your suppliers on a 0 to 100 scale that includes platinum/gold/silver/bronze/ and not-medal eligible, and show how they compare on relevant benchmarks, so you can prioritize and extend your ESG ambition and strategy across your entire supply chain.
