ESG Ratings Performance 2024

ESG ratings help investors identify and understand financially material ESG risks to a business. Companies that score well on ESG metrics are generally believed to better anticipate risks and opportunities, be adept at long-term strategic thinking and value creation. ESG ratings are also an evaluation of a company’s focus and direction on ESG issues.

BW LPG focuses on reporting to ESG rating agencies that our investors and customers use and have methodologies that are transparent and meaningful. Key ESG rating agencies that we currently track are CDP, Sustainalytics, ISS ESG, MSCI, and S&P CSA.
