Notable Context

In the 2022 Forrester Wave evaluation, opaque ESG ratings were no longer satisfying investors, regulators, and corporates. In the years since, those forces have accelerated, with regulators looking to regulate ESG data and ratings providers. The growing recognition of corporate sustainability and climate risks, the influx of sustainable and climate finance, and new sustainability reporting standards and frameworks are all driving the need for more comprehensive, accurate, transparent, and comparable ESG, carbon, and climate data.


FAQs

Q: Why do vendors appear one year and not the next?

A: Vendors marked as nonparticipating vendors in the Forrester Wave graphic met the defined inclusion criteria but declined to participate in or contributed only partially to the evaluation. These vendors are scored in accordance with Forrester's vendor participation policy and their positioning is published along with those of the participating vendors.
