Our research teams have developed an ambitious tool that combines complexity and simplicity. Based on the main market standards and incorporating all the components of a robust climate transition approach, our solution aims to provide investors with a concise and simple understanding of the maturity of each company.
The EthiFinance solution combines a robust, standardized evaluation framework applicable to all types of companies with a proprietary scoring system that considers the size and sector of each company, ensuring that their specific characteristics are fully reflected in the assessment.
Our assessment framework has been designed in line with existing benchmarks and initiatives: CSRD, TCFD, SBTI, ACT, TPI, GFANZ, etc., EFRAG recommendations and SRI label requirements. A GFANZ and NZIF framework mapping can be provided upon request.
The assessment framework is structured around four key pillars: impact measurement, carbon trajectory, strategy and governance.

Our coverage includes approximately 2,900 companies worldwide, including 1,500 across Europe.
