About MSCI ESG Ratings
MSCI ESG Ratings uses a rules-based methodology to measure a company’s resilience to ESG risks. Companies are rated on a “AAA” to “CCC” scale according to their exposure to long-term, industry-material ESG risks, and their ability to manage those risks relative to industry peers. Workiva’s carbon emissions score showed the largest improvement across 35 key ESG issues evaluated by MSCI.
In its analysis, MSCI noted Workiva’s strengths in business ethics, privacy and data security, and labor management. In 2022, Workiva expanded its security incident reporting team and adopted advanced data encryption techniques. The Company also disclosed its whistleblower and anti-corruption policies while detailing its process for annual employee training. Workiva, which was named #20 on the 2022 Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list, continued prioritizing employee engagement through strategic initiatives, including leadership and development programs and robust incentives.
“This achievement is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team and further proof that ESG is integrated in every aspect of our business. At Workiva, we believe ESG benefits both business and society. We will continue to push for progress that is driven by data and rooted in transparency,” Vanderploeg added.
