ESG Rating
Understand how MSCI, CDP, Sustainalytics, S&P Global, and SSBS evaluate your company — and how to prepare.
International ESG Ratings
Four major frameworks dominate the global ESG rating landscape.
We help you understand each one and prepare your data accordingly.
- MSCI ESG Ratings — AAA to CCC, industry-relative, covers 17,000+ issuers
- CDP — World's largest environmental disclosure system, covering climate, water, and forests
- Sustainalytics (Morningstar) — ESG Risk Ratings measuring exposure and management
- S&P Global CSA — Basis for DJSI and S&P 500 ESG Index inclusion
Hong Kong Local Benchmark: SSBS
The Strategic Sustainability Benchmarking Scheme (SSBS) is a Hong Kong-focused benchmark launched by CUHK's Centre for Business Sustainability (CBS) in partnership with SGS.
- Uses the VPI (Values–Process–Impact) model
- Benchmarked against HKBSI (Hong Kong Business Sustainability Index)
- Suitable for listed companies, unlisted enterprises, and SMEs

- Framework-specific training on methodology and scoring
- Data readiness workshops to build your ESG data inventory
- Gap analysis to identify where you stand vs where you need to be
