It does not require complex technical language, prior knowledge, or an internal ESG team. With just a few clear and understandable questions, the status quo across the ESG dimensions of <strong>Environmental, Social and Governance<\/strong> is structured and assessed.\n\nWithin 48 hours, companies receive a well-founded initial assessment and learn how they are positioned compared to their industry peers.
