Ethical Era ESG Rating



Ethical Era Ltd are developing a “Sustainability Metrics Standardisation and Certification” proposal.

The methodology is focused on making Sustainability more “inclusive”. For a company to be able to take a step by step approach to Sustainability with the safe knowledge that they will not be accused of “greenwashing”. Via a gradual tier system we believe we allow a company the space and time to develop their Sustainability policy in stages and not all in one go.

We have Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) certification for the below tiers:

  Endeavour (for companies/organisations that are starting to explore and engage with Sustainability)

  1 Star Good

  2 Star Excellent

  3 Star Outstanding (for companies/organisations that have a fully implemented Sustainability Team and Outstanding Sustainable organisational methodology and structure.

Our certification will be allocated to companies we work with or on application from an organisation, will align with the 17 United Nations Sustainability Development Goals and align with a companies ESG/CSR Sustainability Policy.

The Ethical Era Rating can be utilised at Company and/or Individual Product level (i.e. for individual fashion garment clothing tags).

The Ethical Era Rating is subject to a company engaging with Ethical Era to explore and implement sustainability measures and is subject to rigorous sustainability metrics/checks (relative to tier) . Further details of the Ethical Era Ltd and United Nations SDG criteria are available upon request.

Ethical Era ESG Rating “Factsheet”



Ethical Era Ltd are developing a “Sustainability Metrics Standardisation and Certification” proposal which includes a “factsheet” concept. These are very common within the financial industry to summarise and standardise Fund and Investment Vehicles for when a client wants to review summarised data on an Investment Fund.

The methodology is focused on companies/organisation adopting a standardised “Sustainability Factsheet”. 1 -2 page summary /factsheet to outline a companies sustainability policy/company sustainability agenda and indices/certifications/initiatives/schemes that a company is signed up to for their environmental, social and governance delivery. This is a more concise/client/customer/user friendly document vs external parties having to read extensively long company policy documents.

Our Ethical Era ESG Factsheet will be allocated to companies we work with or on application from an organisation, will align with the 17 United Nations Sustainability Development Goals and align with a companies ESG/CSR Sustainability Policy alongside other relevant indices/measurements to the industry.

The Ethical Era Rating Factsheet can be utilised at Company and/or Department level.

The Ethical Era Rating Factsheet is subject to a company engaging with Ethical Era to explore and implement sustainability measures and is subject to rigorous sustainability metrics/checks (relative to tier) . Further details of the Ethical Era Ltd and United Nations SDG criteria are available upon request.
