A global standard for sustainable investing
The Morningstar Sustainability Rating™ for funds allows investors to understand how the companies in their portfolios are managing their environmental, social, and governance – or ESG – risks relative to their peers. This rating is built to enable advisors and investors to directly compare companies across industries, and a refined design aims to make it easier to use as they make investment decisions.
