Ecorating announces today the final validation of the weightings for Pillar P4 (Proximity and Regulation) for Companies and Countries. This step ensures an accurate assessment of supply chain transparency and the enforcement of environmental laws.
Furthermore, to promote research and transparency, access to the Ecorating API (Application Programming Interface) is now open. Research organizations and partners can now integrate our rating data to accelerate the ecological transition.
With the latest climate projections, pressure on Pillar P1 (Planet) continues to increase. Our analysis reveals that several AA-rated companies must revise their Scope 3 (indirect emissions) reduction targets to maintain their ranking.
The concept of "net zero" must be rapidly transformed into concrete action to avoid a rating downgrade. Ecorating details how companies can now use the "Science Based Targets" methodology to secure their excellence rating in the face of the climate urgency.
Following the publication of ratings for 120 major agri-food companies, the sector shows an average score of BB (Under Watch). This result is explained by the high vulnerability of Pillar P2 (Production/Resources), primarily due to water consumption and dependence on chemical fertilizers.
Companies wishing to reach the BBB threshold must imperatively invest in packaging circularity and adopt more resilient agricultural practices, or risk seeing their rating slide into the speculative zone.
