ESG Ratings

MCDR ESG Ratings aim to measure a Minecraft © related organisation’s resilience to long-term, financially relevant ESG risks. We leverage complex analysis tools (CAT) and alternative data to deliver dynamic investment-relevant insights to power your investment decisions.

How MCDR ESG Ratings work

We use a rules-based methodology to identify industry leaders and laggards. We rate organisations on a ‘AAA to CCC’ scale according to their exposure to ESG risks and how well they manage those risks relative to peers. Such organisations includem, but are not limited to mods/modding groups, modpacks, modloaders, servers.

MCDR ESG Ratings provide insights into potentially significant ESG Risks so you can make better investment decisions and communicate with your clients.
