About the Rating Methodology
NSE Sustainability's ESG ratings are normalized on a scale of 0 to 100, enabling cross-company and cross-industry comparisons. The methodology draws on data from public sources including Annual Reports, ESG Reports, BRSR reports, company websites, news, and stock exchange filings. Ratings are assessed across five criteria — Performance, Compliance, Policy, Initiatives, and Best Practice — with weightages determined through a materiality assessment that identifies the most significant ESG themes for a company within its specific industry context. The ESG rating is also adjusted based on the number, severity, and frequency of negative events or allegations related to ESG practices, with a controversy score used to discount the raw ESG rating accordingly.
