project of FoE Russia (Russian Social Ecological Union) and Interfax-ERA “Rating
for Nature Protection," which passed a competitive selection, presents 20 years
of experience of motivating businesses to increase their environmental
responsibility and transparency by compiling environmental and energy efficiency
ratings of companies. The project has proved its efficiency in Russia and
Kazakhstan. In total, more than 6,000 companies in the real sector of the
economy participate in the 2019 rating. The objectiveness of the rating tool is
confirmed by the dynamics of the market value of the rating leaders. As of
November 2019, the total dynamics of the share prices of the leaders in the
rating was almost 40% ahead of the average market dynamics and never (in the
whole monitoring period since 2007) fell below the market average. For the needs
of portfolio investors at the New York Stock Exchange, Interfax-ERA ratings are
monitored by CSRHub, which aggregates many non-financial assessments and
broadcasts their results to Bloomberg agency terminals.</SPAN></FONT></P><FONT
