Webinar series: Keeping up with the raters - The industry today

This webinar took place in March 2024, you can watch the full recording below:

In this latest SLR webinar series, we offer our view on the ‘Raters & Rankers’ industry. Much has changed in the past few years, so we want to guide you through what’s been taking place in this evolving and complex space.

The world of voluntary disclosure can resemble something of a Wild West with a confusing array of investor indices, sustainability assessors and other ESG questionnaires all demanding your attention. So with some time yet before the dust settles, you may need to appoint a sheriff to bring order to how you disclose. Among the questions you might be asking are:

• What is the value of sharing sustainability data?
• How should you prioritise assessments?
• What are the keys to high performance?

This series seeks to answer these questions and more, helping to put minds at ease so you can make reporting more meaningful.

Our first webinar will introduce the industry, looking at the types of assessors, how they are scoring companies’ sustainable performance, and some best practice approaches to juggling the requirements of several at once.

In subsequent webinars, we then shine a spotlight on some of the big names, discussing their methodologies and how to succeed at each:
