Global Municipal ESG-Index
WHAT IS THE GLOBAL MUNICIPAL ESG-INDEX?
The "Global Municipal ESG-Index" rating is designed to assess the resilience of cities to long-term significant environmental, social and governance risks (ESG - Environmental, Social and Governance) through the prism of the relevance of interest in ESG-practices for a particular region. We use Google's search engine rules-based methodology to identify industry leaders and laggards to achieve maximum transparency and eliminate subjective peer review. Our ESG-ratings range from leader (AA), average (AB, BB, BA, CA, CB) to laggard (AC, BC, CC).
The data is current as of February 20, 2022.
HOW IS GLOBAL MUNICIPAL ESG-INDEX CALCULATED?
This methodology for assigning ESG-ratings was developed by the Institute of Environmental Conservation and Ecosystem Development Technologies.
The assignment of ESG-ratings is carried out in accordance with this methodology based on the analysis of the issuance of the Google search engine (at www.google.com) by counting the number of results for a specific date using the query formula: "region name" (in the national language according to the spelling presented in the rating )+"ESG" (in English).
To determine the "A", "B", "C" level of the city - the query formula: "name of the city" (in the national language according to the spelling presented in the rating) + "ESG" (in English) with subsequent ranking of the number of results obtained depending from the total number of results obtained by all cities participating in the rating within the country, where 80% with the largest contribution to the overall result is assigned the rating "A", 15% - "B", 5% with the minimum individual contribution to the overall result - "C";
to determine the "A", "B", "C" level of the country - "name of the country" (in the national language according to the spelling presented in the rating) + "ESG" (in English) with subsequent ranking of the number of results obtained depending on the total number the results of all countries participating in the rating, where 80% with the largest contribution to the overall result is assigned the rating "A", 15% - "B", 5% with the minimum individual contribution to the overall result - "C".

ESG Rating: The impact of ESG on investments and its principles
In the modern world, more and more investors and companies are paying attention to the factors of sustainable development that have an impact on the economy, the environment and society. ESG has become one of the key concepts related to sustainability and has been widely recognized. In this article, we will look at what ESG is, what principles underlie it and how it affects investments.
What is ESG: ESG is an abbreviation that stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance (Environmental, social, and Managerial) factors. ESG reflects not only the financial performance of the company, but also its impact on the environment, employee relations, management and transparency. ESG factors help to assess the level of sustainability and social responsibility of the company, as well as its willingness to take into account a wide range of stakeholders.
ESG Principles:
ESG and Sustainable development: ESG factors are key components of sustainable development. Companies are developing ESG strategies to integrate sustainability principles into their operations.

ESG and Management: ESG management involves the introduction of practices that take into account ESG factors in decision-making. Companies are developing ESG projects that are aimed at improving environmental and social indicators. They conduct an ESG analysis to evaluate their activities in terms of sustainability. ESG reporting is becoming an important tool that allows companies to provide information about their ESG indicators and achievements.
ESG and Investing: ESG rating plays a significant role in investments. Investors use ESG assessment to determine the level of sustainability and social responsibility of the company. ESG banks and investment funds provide financial support to companies that comply with ESG standards. Investments in companies with a high ESG rating are becoming increasingly popular because they represent the potential for stable income and social impact.
ESG and regional features: The ESG concept is applicable in various areas and regions. It can be adapted to local needs and challenges. An ESG region can focus on specific issues such as climate change, water resources, poverty or inequality. It is important to develop ESG strategies and practices that meet the unique conditions and requirements of each region.
