Launch of our Quantitative Ratings

These ratings are purely based on quantitative aspects - at no point do they involve the personal interpretation of an analyst who must read through text or survey responses. We believe that numbers in large volumes speak for themselves and can serve as a foundation for a more qualitative analysis.

Carbon accounting and metrics are still in the early stages of development and we have chosen the Quartiles approach to set the right level of granularity for comparison. This approach splits the spectrum of performances into 4 ranges, each capturing 25% of the companies. The first quartile for example represents the range of the Top 25% performances.
