3BL Media & Reuters Insider spotlight proliferation of CSR ratings, conclusions from Rate the Raters, Phase Two

16 Dec 2010 – SA in the News

3BL Media / Reuters Insider highlights the “full harvest” for CSR ratings & rankings in 2010, and how the growing number and diversity of ratings schemes raises questions about their overall quality and usefulness for guiding investment decisions. The report summarizes the conclusions from phase two of SustainAbility’s Rate the Raters research, including:

  • Most rankings are too general;
  • Most keep readers in the dark about their rating methodology; and,
  • No two ratings are alike, which makes them difficult to compare.

Also, stay tuned for when SustainAbility releases phase three of the research in early 2011, which takes a closer look at selected ratings to address a range of questions and hypotheses that emerged from the phase-two report.
