ESG Ratings vs Documented Corporate Conduct: Where the Gaps Appear

ESG ratingsgreenwashingethical investing
Mashinii Research · · Updated

Mashinii score records retrieved on 13 September 2026.

Correction — 13 September 2026: Removed an invalid entry named “score” and recalculated the rankings. Unavailable dimensions are excluded from averages and are no longer counted as neutral scores.

Each recorded score ranges from −100 to +100. The average is the sum of available scores divided by the number of scored dimensions; the coverage column shows that number out of eleven. “—” means no score is available and is not zero. A recorded zero is neutral within this scoring system, not proof that a company has no problems.

Ranks compare only the companies listed here, not every company in the sector. Coverage differs between companies, so an average alone is not a complete like-for-like comparison or an investment recommendation. Exact ties share a rank; displayed averages are rounded to one decimal place. Where highest or lowest scores tie, one dimension is shown.

This table contains Mashinii conduct scores, not ratings from external ESG agencies. It does not establish a numerical gap against an agency rating.

How to use this comparison

Use these scores as a route into the underlying evidence, not as a substitute for reading it. Open a company profile, choose the values that matter to you, and follow its direct citations. Company records can be incomplete, and a neutral score should never be read as an endorsement.

Search any company or read the latest research.
