ESG Risk Ratings become important when investors analyze their investment potential in the future, and therefore this should not be ignored by companies. Most ESG Risk Ratings ratings, including Morningstar Sustainalytics which is Kompas.com’s reference, measure a company’s exposure to risks and opportunities related to E=environment, S=social and G=governance.
Morningstar Sustainalytics, a 30-year-old ESG research, ratings and analysis agency, calculates ESG risk scores based on two approaches, namely exposure and management. The exposure approach is how they look at the company’s exposure to specific issues and material ESG risks in an industry and how well the company manages these risks according to its business model.
