Zurich & Paris — 5th May 2025 — Inrate, the leading ESG data and ratings specialist
that pioneered impact ratings built on science-based sustainability analysis, and
SESAMm, a global leader in AI-powered ESG and reputational risk data, have
announced a new partnership. This collaboration will enrich Inrate’s ESG Ratings with
SESAMm’s real-time controversy insights, which cover millions of companies across
over 4 million global sources.
Through this partnership, Inrate will integrate SESAMm’s large-scale controversy
event data into its controversies analysis, ESG assessments, and ratings. This
enhances Inrate’s insights into ESG controversies and strengthens its rigorous
approach to evaluating corporate sustainability performance. All of Inrate’s research
and ratings extend beyond reported data, incorporating the sustainability impact of
business activities and ESG controversies for a holistic picture of a company’s
sustainability performance.
“Our ESG Ratings are built on a robust foundation—assessing companies based on
the impact of their activities, not just on what they choose to disclose,” said Saurabh
Srivastava, Head of Sustainability Data and Ratings at Inrate. “By integrating
SESAMm’s extensive data set, we further enhance our ability to uncover relevant ESG
events quickly and with greater global coverage, capturing a more complete and
objective view.”
