At ResponseAble, we believe that true sustainability requires a comprehensive approach. Our scoring system is designed to assess companies on multiple dimensions, ensuring a **balanced, data-driven, and fair evaluation** of their sustainability performance. By integrating **independent ESG ratings, carbon intensity measurements, community feedback,** and **adjustments based on controversies and positive initiatives**, we provide a holistic view of a company’s impact.

📊 1. ESG Ratings (35%)

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) ratings serve as the backbone of our methodology. We source data from reputable organizations such as **Sustainalytics, MSCI, and Morningstar**. These ratings analyze a company's risk exposure, sustainability policies, and governance practices. By incorporating multiple sources, we ensure a **balanced** and **unbiased** perspective on a company's ESG performance.

Current ESG Score: 75/100

🌍 2. Carbon Intensity Factor (35%)

Carbon intensity measures a company’s environmental impact by assessing its total emissions relative to revenue. This factor helps us identify businesses that **generate revenue efficiently while minimizing carbon output**. Companies that successfully decarbonize their operations are rewarded in our scoring system, while those with excessive emissions are penalized.

Formula: Carbon Intensity = Total CO₂ Emissions (tCO₂e) / Total Revenue (€)

Current Carbon Intensity Score: 45/100

🗳️ 3. Community Rating (20%)

Sustainability isn’t just about corporate disclosures; it’s also about **public perception and accountability**. We allow our community to participate in the rating process by providing feedback in three key categories:

• 🌱 Environmental Impact: How well does the company manage its carbon footprint?
• 🤝 Social Responsibility: Does the company treat employees and communities ethically?
• 🏛️ Corporate Governance: Is leadership transparent and accountable?

Users rate companies on a **1-10 scale**, and the **average rating** contributes up to 20% of the total score.

Current Community Rating: 8/10

⚖️ 4. Adjustments & Controversy Score (10%)

Companies are not static; they evolve based on market trends, public sentiment, and internal decisions. To account for **positive sustainability initiatives, scandals, or other major shifts**, we apply **adjustments** that can **increase or decrease a company’s final score**. This ensures that our methodology reflects real-world developments rather than relying solely on historical data.

Current Adjustment Factor: -5

📝 Final Impact Score Calculation

We combine all four factors into a single, **transparent** final score that reflects a company’s overall sustainability performance.

Formula: Final Score = (35% × ESG Ratings) + (35% × (100 - Carbon Intensity)) + (20% × Community Rating) + (10% × Adjustments)

Final Score: 61.00/100
