Sustainability ratings
ESG issues have become increasingly important in investment decisions: the world's largest asset managers are investing more and more funds in companies that comply with sustainability criteria, and they refer to ESG ratings for their evaluations.
These ratings are given by agencies specialised in collecting and analysing such data. In this context, the awards we received from a number of leading international ESG rating agencies for our achievements in our business's sustainability are therefore of the utmost importance.
During the year, our strategy was rewarded with improvements and recognition from the main international ratings: we were confirmed in the CDP 'A List' at the beginning of 2024. We were promoted by MSCI Inc. to the 'AAA' rating (highest rating), within the 'Leader' category. We ranked 28th in the 2024 index in the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the world by Corporate Knights, first among Italian companies. We are among the Top ESG Identity Performers of the 'Integrated Governance Index 2023', among the Italian best practices in terms of corporate governance. EthiFinance promoted us from 71/100 to 77/100 based on the improved environmental, social and governance performance recorded as part of business development activities.
