Communicating your ESG story: 5 key lessons from top-performing companies

Leverage Awards as an ESG Performance Indicator

Awards, like Sustainalytics’ Top-Rated Badges, allow companies to communicate the strength of their ESG performance to a variety of key stakeholders. Recognition from impartial, third-party organizations is a quick way to signal to investors that your company manages its material ESG issues well. Awards are also an excellent tool for motivating employees and celebrating their contributions. ASR Nederland N.V., a Netherlands-based insurance provider, leverages its Top-Rated Badge from Sustainalytics for a variety of communication channels.

“Our Sustainalytics rating has become part of the story that we communicate to the outside world,” said Barth Scholten, ESG Investor Relations Officer at ASR Nederland N.V. “Being #1 in Sustainalytics’ assessment is a great way to start any investor meeting. This external recognition also means a lot to our employees. It validates our sustainable strategy and goals, which also helps in attracting new talent who are drawn to a sustainable employer.”
