Our Social Responsibility rating focuses on external stakeholders, examining the company's impact on the community, customers and broader societal responsibilities. • Additionally, we cover Mixed Themes such as Value Chain Management, which provides an in-depth analysis of how well a company manages social and environmental risks across its value chain. • Under Governance-Based Themes, we evaluate areas such as Business Ethics, where companies are assessed on their adherence to ethical practices across business operations. The Corporate Governance rating examines board structure, policies and compliance with regulatory frameworks such as India’s Companies Act, 2013. We offer a robust suite of Pillar-Based ESG Ratings that provide a focused assessment of a company’s performance across three critical dimensions: Environment, Social and Governance. • Our Pillar-Based ESG Ratings focus separately on Environmental, Social and Governance aspects, allowing companies to benchmark their performance against peers and drive targeted improvements.
