Growth driven by leading emerging market ESG companies
Did you know?
ESG scoring in emerging markets is evolving rapidly — many companies in Asia and Latin America have significantly improved their environmental and governance disclosures in recent years to attract international institutional capital. MSCI's ESG ratings framework evaluates companies on over 35 individual criteria, from carbon emissions and water use to board independence and anti-corruption policies. Emerging market ESG investing presents a genuine 'greenfield' opportunity: because many companies start from a lower ESG baseline, investors who engage early may benefit both from improving standards and from valuation re-ratings as governance improves.
