Get the World’s #1 ESG Rating

What is ESG?

ESG stands for environment, social, and governance. It’s all about enabling organisations to demonstrate how they are well run, honest, and transparent. Since 2005, it has been the global measure to show you care about people and planet.

What is an ESG rating?

An ESG rating is a grade – like a financial rating – but it’s assessing your impact on society. It relies on globally established standards, and the ratings system is fair: even a tiny business can compete against a huge corporation.

How does an ESG rating benefit my organisation?

Every organisation, businesses, schools, even family farms benefit from an ESG rating because both businesses and consumers see your rating as a sign you can be trusted. Banks and other investors also favour organisations with an ESG rating.

How much time will it take us to respond to the IQ ESG assessment?

For a very small organisation, you might need to spend just one hour per week for eight weeks, and for a larger organisation, perhaps twelve weeks. It’s not difficult. However, your subscription last for a full year, so you can work to improve your rating!

Do we require any specialist knowledge to complete the assessment?

No, completing your IQ ESG is for anyone. There are some questions which require knowledge of your organisation’s finances, but even these are straightforward.

What happens if we don’t have the answers to certain questions?

This is normal. You are not penalised for not having an answer, and you can still submit your assessment. Over the course of the year, we encourage you to improve your responses.

Can I get a bad ESG rating?

No, you cannot get a bad ESG rating because ESG is not a measure of good vs. bad: it is a statement of fact. A rating of “B” is good, and a rating of “AAA” is better.

How long does the total assessment process take?

From the day you start to securing your first ESG rating takes as little as three months. After that, you continue to have access to the ESG Pro training and education portal to continuously improve so your rating next year will be even better!

How many organisations have this rating?

More than 250,000 organisations globally have this ESG rating, making it the most widely adopted ratings system (compared to B Corp with 8,254).

What are carbon emissions and how do they relate to ESG?

Your carbon emissions represent some of the most damaging forms of pollution as they impact our global climate. To assess the environmental impact of your organisation, we need to calculate how much carbon you generate through the activities of your organisation.

What carbon emissions do you calculate for IQ ESG clients?

We calculate all scope 1 and scope 2 emissions based on the data you provide.

What do I get at the end of the IQ ESG rating process?
