Gain a rating on your ESG and sustainability practices.
Speeki has its own solution called Speeki Sustainability Score™ where companies participate in obtaining a scorecard on one or more ESG topics. The company provides information to Speeki, engages in dialogue, and attends interviews before we award a private and confidential score and scorecard of your programme.
Speeki also helps companies that wish to engage in the more open and public ESG assessment processes with agencies, where we help prepare you to improve your scores.
Speeki Sustainability Score™ and the issuance of a scorecard are private, confidential, and we don't sell your data to make money.
Our competitors scan the internet for data on your ESG programmes and then give you a rating, sometimes without any engagement at all. They then package those ratings into other products and sell them to finance houses for profit. That is not our style.
We assess your programmes based on the data you provide to us, along with some dialogue, and produce a confidential scorecard.
Our assessments are private and confidential.
You decide whether to publish your scorecard. We provide you with the indication, and you decide.
Our grant of a Speeki Sustainability Score™ is not automated.
Speeki has a platform for our reviews, including supplier risk assessments, where you upload data, but it is not automated. Real experts review the data, engage in dialogue, and issue the scorecard.
Separate ESG topics, not one 'ESG' assessment.
We don't provide an overall ESG programme assessment as part of this solution. Instead, we provide individual scorecards for each topic. If you are looking for an overall ESG review, check out our products page for our ESG Programme Review, which is a more comprehensive and involved engagement.
We don't sell on data.
It is your data, not ours. We simply review it to help assign a scorecard. Exercise caution when engaging other ratings agencies and seek help to maximise your scores.
Need help improving your rating with an ESG ratings agency?
Many agencies don't even consult you when conducting a rating – they simply scrape information from your website and assign a score. Of course, if you pay, you might receive better service. Speeki understands ESG assessments, knows how ratings are built, and can guide you on what data to make available to achieve a higher score.
Better presentation – form
If bots are scanning the internet and assigning you a rating automatically, it's crucial to present your data in a way that highlights your strongest elements while minimising the impact of less ideal information.
Fill gaps – substance
Presentation is one aspect, but there may also be gaps in your ESG strategy that need addressing. Speeki can help you build key elements of your ESG programme and fill in those gaps that might be negatively impacting your scores.

Our scorecards are designed to reflect conformity with published frameworks, ISO standards, and international best practices on the relevant topic.
Scorecards are great guidance
Our scorecards, the main output of our assessments, provide guidance, direction and help to build a better ESG risk assessment system. They are directly related to improvement of your programmes.

We want to be your partner in assessing your programmes and providing excellent guidance for improvement.
Our focus is on your progress. We aim to help you achieve the highest scorecard across all assessed areas. We understand the positive impact this can have on your stakeholders and strive to elevate each of your programmes to a level of maturity that adds real value.
Our goal is to be your partner, offering expert support and guidance on making the assessment process a competitive advantage for your business. We're focused on your success, helping you improve the maturity of your programmes and move up to the next level.
The 'E' in ESG is critical. The sooner companies address environmental issues and improve their efforts, the greater the chance we have to tackle major climate and sustainability challenges. While knowing your scorecard alone won't fix the planet, healthy competition to improve your score can certainly help.
If you decide to pursue a rating from an external ratings agency, focusing on improving your rating will undoubtedly lead to higher levels of success. Investors pay attention to these ratings, and they are regularly shared with customers and investors through various platforms.
Although we may not always agree with the approach and methodology of ratings agencies, their ratings are widely regarded as an industry standard in financial research. A bit of proactive effort can significantly improve your rating. Playing the game comes with minimal risk but plenty of potential reward.
In business, compensation drives behaviour, and goals drive compensation. Setting company goals to improve your scorecard and ratings in key areas can motivate teams to implement new measures that drive growth and improvement.
Some of the best advice you’ll receive comes through Speeki Assessments. We work with Speeki clients to help them achieve higher levels of maturity, guiding them through the process without the need for ever-increasing consulting fees.
