Assessment Framework

# UoP Second Party Opinions

Framework for assessing UoP instruments  
in our Second Party Opinions

Download our full assessment framework to discover the framework our analysts use in their assessment.

We are introducing a new **Sustainability Contribution signal**, which goes beyond principles alignment, offering granular insights on real-world impact:

- **A n****uanced 4-level system** combining environmental and social contribution with avoidance of harm criteria 

- Encompassing intended **contributions across all sustainability dimensions**—environmental, including transition, and social 

- Recognition of **Transition plans and commitments** 

 

**When will the new assessment framework be applied? ** 

The enhanced assessment framework will be applied to all new UoP SPO engagements after April 15th, 2025. 

Any SPOs delivered after July 1st, 2025 will be using the updated assessment framework.
