Sustainalytics’ ESG Risk Ratings capture how companies manage the impacts and risks related to human rights issues, which include child labour, forced labour or modern slavery within their own operations and/or their supply chains. Within the Risk Rating framework, Sustainalytics assesses two separate material ESG issues (MEI): ‘Human Rights’, speaking to the issue in relation to a company’s own operations, and ‘Human Rights – Supply Chain’, focusing on a company’s supply chain practices.
