Measuring the sustainability performance of companies
IMPACT RATING enables companies to identify areas where their business practices are aligned with sustainable development and to help them to get prepared to provide an extra-financial reporting, as required in Europe as of 2024 (new CSRD obligations).
In particular, it provides an operational tool for measuring a company's contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs. Without being exhaustive, this list represents the main correspondences between IMPACT RATING criteria and SDGs. Many other criteria can have an indirect impact on SDGs and can be added to this contribution.
