Industry-leading ESG ratings to identify supply chain ESG risk TORONTO, Nov. 23rd, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Sustainalytics is a Morningstar company that provides global ESG research, ratings and data. Today, Sustainalytics launched its Corporate Supply Chain ESG Solutions. This includes online access to Sustainalytics’ vast research universe and company-level ESG ratings. Companies of all sizes have been focused on improving the resilience and sustainability of their supply chains since the COVID-19 pandemic. Sustainalytics Corporate Supply Chain ESG Solutions allows procurement professionals and corporate social responsibility (CSR), to evaluate the ESG risk management performance and direct suppliers. Companies have been paying more attention to sustainability practices over the past few years. This has extended to their suppliers as well as their partners. Many industries, particularly those with longer supply chains, are more vulnerable to labour disruptions, worker health and safety incidents, human rights violations, and shortages in natural resources. Investors, customers, regulators, and regulators are putting greater pressure on companies to address ESG risks in their supply chain to reduce reputational and operational risk. Sustainalytics ESG Risk Ratings are used by hundreds of the most prominent institutional investors around the globe. Companies can now benefit from the same consistent ESG insights that underpin Sustainalytics’ Corporate Supply Chain ESG Solutions. These include: Assessing suppliers’ ESG problems to better understand their exposure to material ESG risk. Conducting an in-depth sustainability analysis that measures a company’s economic and social impact. Reviewing potential partners and vendors before entering into new supplier or partnership agreements. Francesca Placa is manager of corporate solutions at Sustainalytics. Sustainalytics provides a standardised, high-quality approach to assess material ESG risks at company-level. This allows companies to identify the most important suppliers. Sustainalytics ESG Risk Ratings offer an absolute way to assess company-level ESG risks. This is a first in the industry. The firm’s ratings can be used to compare companies across industries by using a consistent approach. The company’s exposure and management of ESG risks is measured by the ratings. Investors, employees, and customers continue to be interested in ESG issues. This has led company executives to prioritize these concerns throughout their companies. Corporate issuers are now leveraging their ESG performance in order to lower their capital costs, benchmark against peers and improve shareholder engagement as well as to demonstrate their long-term commitment towards sustainability. Sustainalytics’ ESG ratings as well as data in its Supply Chain ESG Solutions can be accessed through the firm’s ESG Assessment platform, which allows procurement professionals and CSR professionals to easily compare and measure suppliers.
