  • External sources, as public information, market data, reputation, awards, etc.

  • a qualitative approach, which refers to a setof data and information providedby the Organizations rated through the three ESG areas, the Ethical and Social Principles of the SRG88088:20 Standard (Social Responsibility and Governance) and of the 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
