ESG Assessments Nothing to lose - a huge amount to gain.
Speeki has its own solution called Speeki Assessments where companies participate in obtaining a scorecard on one or more ESG topics. The company provides information to Speeki, engages in dialogue and attends interviews before we award a private and confidential scorecard of your programme.
Speeki also helps companies who wish to engage in the more open and public ESG assessment processes with agencies where we help ready you to improve your scores.
Speeki Assessments and the issuance of a scorecard are private, confidential and we don't sell your data to make money.
Our competitors scan the internet for data on your ESG programmes and then give you a rating sometimes without any engagement at all. They then package up those ratings into other products and sell them to finance houses for profit. That is not our style.
We assess your programmes based on the data you provide to us along with some dialogue and produce a confidential scorecard.
Our assessments are private and confidential
You decide whether you publish your scorecard. We provide you the indication and you decide.
Our grant of a scorecard is not automated.
Speeki has a platform for our assessments where you upload data, but it is not automated. Real experts review the data, engage in dialogue and issue the scorecard.
Separate ESG topics not one 'ESG' assessment.
We don't provide an overall ESG programme assessment as part of this solution. We provide individual scorecards for each topic. If you are looking for an overall ESG review, check out our products page for our ESG Programme Review engagement which is a bigger and more involved engagement.
We don't on sell data
It is your data. Not ours. We simply review it to help assign a scorecard. Exercise caution by engaging other ratings agencies and get some help to maximise your scores.
Need help improving your rating with an ESG ratings agency?
Many agencies don't even ask you about conducting a rating, they simply scrape information off your website and give you a rating. Of course, if you pay money, you might get a better service. Speeki knows ESG, we know how ratings are built and we know what data you need to make available and how to drive a higher award.
Better presentation - form
If bots are going to scan the internet and give you a rating automatically, then you need to think how to present your data so the strongest pieces get identified and the less ideal get ignored.
Fill gaps - substance
While presentation is one thing, we suspect you might have some gaps to fill in order to address the substantive elements as well. Allow Speeki to help you build some of the key elements of your ESG strategy and address gaps that are reflecting poorly on your scores.

There is a strong E in ESG. The sooner the companies start to tackle it and improve, then the higher likelihood that we can address some of the larger climate and sustainability issues. Knowing your scorecard won't fix the planet, but a good dose of competition to drive the indicator can never hurt.
If you decide to get a rating from a separate ratings' agency, there is no doubt that a focus on ratings will help you improve and strive to achieve higher levels of success. Investors look at the ratings and they are (whether we like it or not) being built and pushed into the hands of customers and investors regularly through various platforms.
While the ratings agencies have their own approach and methodology (and we may not always agree with them), it exists and is the industry standard at least as it comes to financial research. A little bit of proactive work can make that rating substantially better. Play the game, you rarely have anything to lose but a lot to gain.
Everyone in business knows that compensation drives behaviour and that goals drive compensation. The best thing you can do is set some company goals to drive up your scorecard and improve ratings across key areas and push the teams to implement new measures that impact levels of growth and improvement.
Some of the best advice you might receive is through the Speeki Assessments. At least that is what we like to do with Speeki clients where we can help them achieve higher levels of maturity and learn through the process without having to pay larger and larger consulting fees.
ESG Assessments and ratings by rating agencies can be a friend or foe, Speeki is the solution to help you build friendships.
