About Us

Improving quality of life, promoting human dignity.

We are driven by the desire to maximize the financial and social return to all stakeholders in the companies we assess. Our ratings reflect this vision by not only measuring financial performance of our client’s projects and programmes, but more importantly their social performance.

OUR MISSION

To provide socially-grounded yet robust and independent financial and social services to Banks, Microfinance Institutions (MFIs), Investment Funds, Asset Managers, Micro Insurance providers, Foundations, NGOs, Social Businesses and other type of organizations with a strong social mission.

Through our social performance and impact ratings, we enable individuals, institutions and businesses to use their financial resources more consciously and in ways that benefit both people and the environment.

Our mission differentiates us from other traditional rating agencies, whose primary focus is to provide credit rating services.
