Our ESG performance is assessed annually by external research and ratings agencies, including the following.

The S&P CSA measures the ESG performance of companies. It has become a key benchmark for investors who integrate sustainability into their portfolios. In October 2023, ANZ achieved a score of 75/100 which places us in the top 3% for S&P Global ESG Scores.

Sustainalytics

Sustainalytics' ESG Risk Ratings measure a company's exposure to industry-specific material ESG risks and how well a company is managing those risks. In 2023, ANZ received an ESG Risk Rating of 18.9 out of 100 (a lower score is more desirable) and was assessed by Sustainalytics to be at low risk of experiencing material financial impacts from ESG factors.   

CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project)

We became a member of CDP in 2007 and respond to the CDP climate change program, which is an annual study of the greenhouse emissions and climate change strategies of the world's largest companies. In 2022, we achieved a CDP climate change score of A-.

ISS Corporate ESG Rating

ISS Corporate ESG Rating's assessment of a company's management of ESG issues is analysed on the basis of up to 100 rating criteria, with most of them sector specific. ANZ holds Prime status with a rating of C (on a scale of A+ to D-) in the ISS ESG Corporate Ratings assessment (February, 2022). Prime status is awarded to companies with an ESG performance above the sector-specific Prime threshold, which means that they fulfil ambitious absolute performance requirements.
