Solicited Rating process

Standard Ethics Guidelines

The work carried out by Standard Ethics does not require Applicants to fill out forms and questionnaires or draft other documentation in addition to the existing one. It will be the responsibility of Standard Ethics' analysts to gather all necessary data. The guidelines used by Standard Ethics' analysts will be given to Clients requesting SERs, in advance of any Rating or Report publication.

Rating Actions

This page contains all rating actions that have resulted in changes to the current Standard Ethics Ratings (SER). These changes are accompanied by a technical note which already forms part of the official press release, which can be downloaded directly. The note includes details of the rating action carried out, the type of rating assigned, the aggregate Standard Ethics Rating (SER) assessment (with E, S and G values provided in a footnote) and an explanation of the rating methodology. Please note that this table does not contain all ratings issued by Standard Ethics. The Agency only publishes the ratings of those companies belonging to Standard Ethics Clusters (formerly known as Indexes or Benchmarks). All companies are constantly monitored by the Agency's analysts.
