EU ESG Ratings Regulation EU 2024/3005

RepRisk welcomes the EU ESG Ratings Regulation (EU) 2024/3005 to drive greater transparency

RepRisk welcomes Regulation EU 2024/3005 on the transparency and integrity of ESG rating activities. The regulation is an important step toward greater accountability and comparability in sustainability data and is consistent with RepRisk’s longstanding mission to drive positive change by providing transparency on business conduct risks.

Headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, and serving clients across the European Union with business conduct and reputational risk data, RepRisk falls within the scope of the regulation.

RepRisk’s application 2026

As part of our broader compliance program, we are actively advancing our application for authorization by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) under Articles 6 and 11 of the regulation, in accordance with ESMA’s application process and schedule:

Step 1

We will notify ESMA of our intent to continue operating in the European Union.

Step 2

We will submit our application for authorization. RepRisk Germany GmbH, our EU-based entity, will submit the application for authorization under Article 6, together with the application for endorsement of the RepRisk group’s parent company, RepRisk AG, under Article 11.

Transparent, consistent, rules-based methodology

Available for everyone to see, RepRisk’s methodology is published on our website. It underpins the high-quality risk intelligence that we provide to the world’s leading financial institutions who rely upon our data for their critical decisions.

We use an outside-in, event-driven methodology to rigorously evaluate risks, focusing exclusively on publicly reported data. To provide an unbiased ‘reality check’ of a company's conduct on the ground, we actively exclude self-reported data such as company self-disclosures, press releases, and sustainability reports.

This approach reveals hidden risks and costly blind spots that might otherwise go unnoticed. Our decision-ready data is reproduceable and auditable, qualities that are increasingly important as organizations scale AI-driven processes and workflows.

Committed to an excellent client experience

We are working closely with ESMA to ensure that the ESG Rating Regulation can be applied and implemented in a practical and efficient way, and will continue to provide RepRisk clients with access to relevant, accurate, and timely risk intelligence that drives responsible business and empowers better decisions for performance and peace of mind.
