WHY WAS YOUR COMPANY INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ASSESSMENT?
All types of companies can participate in the ESG assessment, regardless of industry or size. ESG assessments are valuable for companies that are looking to remain sustainably profitable.
Your company was specifically invited to participate in this assessment because your organization is a large corporation with extensive operations and significant environmental and social impact and as a listed entity, there is increasing investor scrutiny regarding sustainability and responsible business practices. Taking this assessment can help identify areas for improvement and align your company's practices with global sustainability goals.

WHAT IS THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS FOR INVITED COMPANIES?
The ESG Assessment uses a consistent, rule-based methodology to convert an average of 1,000 data points per company into an ESG Score. The ESGA questionnaire opens for all companies on the 3rd of July, 2023. Companies are allowed a 2 months assessment period to take the test, complete the questionnaire and submit their entries. Results will be available on our website on request.

PUBLICATION OF RESULTS
As ESG considerations become more critical to capital markets, the ESG assessment enables us to provide you and your stakeholders with a relevant and comprehensive sustainability assessment. A key feature of the ESG assessment is that, through your active participation, you can provide additional information to what is publicly available, including all your recent ESG initiatives. ESG Scores based on the ESG assessment are available on the IPMC ESG Scores website.
