EcoRatings Fintech Solutions, a branch of EcoRatings Software Solutions, has secured a SEBI license to provide ESG ratings. With this approval, the company can now deliver ESG ratings for listed and upcoming financial securities, as well as the issuing companies.
This move will help EcoRatings empower investors to identify and reduce risks associated with environmental, social, and governance factors. As a result, investors can safeguard their investments from potential negative impacts.
ESG ratings offer crucial advantages to companies striving for sustainable growth. They facilitate access to green loans with lower interest rates and provide competitive pricing that boosts revenue. Moreover, these ratings enhance a company’s chances of securing government incentives for sustainability initiatives.
With strong ESG ratings, businesses can stand out in the market, grow their export opportunities, and gain easier access to markets like the US and EU, where sustainability measures are highly valued.
