Our research teams have developed a comprehensive assessment tool: based on the main international standards and adjusted to the specificities of each sector, this solution covers all the components of a climate approach (mitigation, adaptation, fair transition, etc.).
The EthiFinance solution combines a robust assessment framework and extensive dialogue with the company. This guarantees both the quality of the data collected and the proper consideration of the specific features of each company.
Our proprietary 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.
The methodology encompasses both mitigation and adaptation aspects. While most indicators are cross-sectoral, some are sector-specific where relevant. Even for cross-sectoral indicators, sector-specific metrics may be applied, considering that key scopes and emission factors vary from one sector to another. This reference framework is structured around four key pillars:
In-depth dialogue with the rated entity is at the heart of our process. Our Climate rating process is an iterative exercise, combining both quantitative and qualitative information gathering as well as interactions between our analysts and your company and an additional in-depth qualitative interview. The objective of this dialogue is to understand the specifics of your organization and to have the opportunity to exchange views before the final rating report is published.
Deliverables combine quantitative assessments (global and thematic) with more in-depth qualitative analysis.
