1. Enterprises are scored on a scale of 0-10. An Impact Score of 0 suggests a traditional business that does not create any social and/or environment change while an Impact Score of 10 denotes an all-rounded ‘impact enterprise’ creating maximal social and environmental impact. Similarly, a Risk Score of 0 suggests a traditional business that does not contribute towards risk reduction while a Risk Score of 10 denotes maximum risk mitigation i.e. the enterprise is reducing exposure to harm and increasing coping capacity in most, if not all, aspects.
2. The enterprise’s Impact Score is weighted across three dimensions - Intention (20%), Practices (30%), and Outputs and Outcomes (50%). The Risk Score is weighted across two dimensions – Exposure to Harm (50%) and Coping Capacity (50%).
3. Points are received for every positive answer to a question and points can never be lost. Every point reflects incremental positive impact.

2. The ESG+ Score is weighted across three dimensions – Environment, Social, and Governance.
3. Points are received for every positive answer to a question and points can never be lost. Every point reflects incremental positive impact.
