NexGen/Practices/ESG ratings and assessment

ESG data you can defend to a rating agency.

Our experts know how the rating agencies score ESG, and we build your ESG ecosystem around that. We prepare the report with your team, publish it, and defend it with the rating agencies.

The problem

Ratings reward what you can prove, not what you do.

Lenders, investors, large customers and regulators increasingly ask for ESG information, and rating agencies score companies on what is disclosed and evidenced. A business can run responsibly and still score poorly, because the data is scattered across sites, held in different units, and assembled by hand once a year.

We treat ESG as a data and controls problem. We map what each rating methodology and reporting framework asks for, find where the evidence lives, and build the collection, validation and reporting, so the numbers are repeatable, traceable and ready when the questionnaire arrives.

What we do

From a gap assessment to a reporting platform.

Gap assessment

Your current disclosures and data, measured against the rating methodologies and reporting frameworks that matter to your stakeholders.

Data model and collection

One ESG data model, with automated collection from sites, utilities, HR, procurement and finance systems.

Controls and evidence trail

Validation rules, approvals and stored evidence behind every reported figure, ready for assurance.

ESG report, built and published with you

Our experts write the ESG report alongside your team, aligned to frameworks such as GRI and the ISSB standards, and take it through to publication.

Dashboards and targets

Live dashboards for emissions, energy, water, safety, workforce and governance indicators, with targets and owners.

Rating agency engagement

We prepare the evidence pack, answer the agency's questions and defend the report through the rating review, with AI drafting first responses for our experts to check.

How it runs

Four steps, each with something you can hold.

The right-hand column is what you have in your hands at the end of each step. We confirm timing in the plan, once we have seen the work.
