The ESG ratings you never signed up for.
MSCI rates you from AAA to CCC; Sustainalytics scores your ESG risk where lower is better — and both do it from your public disclosure, without a questionnaire and without asking. Your rating is only as good as the data they can read. Othello improves that public data, corrects it at source through the issuer portals, and reconciles it with the rest of your ESG story.

Rated from public data — without asking you.
MSCI and Sustainalytics don’t send a questionnaire. They build your rating from your public disclosure and third-party data, so your score reflects what you have — and haven’t — published. That is the opening: better disclosure, corrected at source, moves an unsolicited rating.
| Leader | AAA · AA |
| Average | A · BBB · BB |
| Laggard | B · CCC |
| Negligible | 0–10 |
| ต่ำ | 10–20 |
| Medium | 20–30 |
| High | 30–40 |
| Severe | 40+ |
Both are unsolicited — you cannot buy a better rating, and you don’t submit a questionnaire. You improve them by disclosing managed risks, correcting data through the issuer portals (MSCI’s is open year-round; Sustainalytics gives a two-week draft-review window), and managing controversies.
Disclosed, corrected, credited.
Read your rating like the model does
We pull your current MSCI and Sustainalytics profiles and identify which key issues and material risks drive them — and where the model is estimating because you haven’t disclosed.
Disclose the managed risks
Neither model assumes the worst for silence, but it won’t credit what you don’t show. We publish the policies, programs and quantitative data that let real performance be scored instead of estimated.
Fix the governance signals
MSCI floors Governance at a third of the rating. We strengthen the disclosed board, ownership, pay and ethics signals both models weight heavily.
Correct the data at source
We prepare and submit corrections through the MSCI Issuer Communications Portal (open year-round) and the Sustainalytics Issuer Gateway (a two-week draft-review window) — replacing estimates with your real, referenced data.
Manage controversies
Both models cut scores for unmanaged controversies. We help you remediate and evidence the response so a single case doesn’t cap your rating.
You can’t submit — so disclosure is everything.
Because these ratings are built from public data, the only lever is what you disclose and how the model reads it. Thai companies are frequently rated on partial English disclosure — estimates fill the gaps, and estimates rarely flatter. We turn your real performance into disclosed, referenced evidence the models can credit.
Disclose to be credited
The models estimate where you are silent. We publish the policies, programs and quantitative data that let real performance be scored instead of assumed.
ธรรมาภิบาล weighted
MSCI floors Governance at a third of the rating. We strengthen the disclosed board, ownership, pay and ethics signals both models read closely.
Correct at source
We engage the MSCI Issuer Communications Portal และเป็น Sustainalytics Issuer Gateway to replace estimates and stale data with your real, referenced figures.
In อังกฤษ
Both models read English disclosure. We produce it in investor-grade English from your Thai reality, so nothing material is invisible to the analyst or the algorithm.
One rating, reconciled
Your MSCI and Sustainalytics story should match your FTSE, CDP, CSA and EcoVadis story. We keep one coherent set of ESG facts across every rating.

What issuers ถามเป็นอันดับแรก
The questions Thai companies raise about ratings they never applied for — click any to expand.
01What is an MSCI ESG rating?+
MSCI rates companies on a seven-band, industry-relative scale from AAA (best) to CCC (worst), grouped into Leader (AAA–AA), Average (A, BBB, BB) and Laggard (B, CCC). It is built from public disclosure and third-party data across 33 industry-weighted key issues, with Governance floored at about a third of the score.
02What is the Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating?+
Sustainalytics (a Morningstar company) scores your unmanaged ESG risk — exposure minus how well you manage it — where a lower score is better: Negligible (0–10), Low (10–20), Medium (20–30), High (30–40), Severe (40+). It is absolute, so it is comparable across sectors.
03Why am I rated without applying?+
Both ratings are unsolicited: analysts and models build them from your public disclosure and third-party sources for investors who use them to screen and weight holdings. If your company is in their coverage universe — which most SET large- and mid-caps are, through index inclusion — you are rated whether or not you engage.
04Can you improve a rating I didn’t submit?+
Yes. Because the input is public data, the lever is disclosure. We publish the managed risks, targets and governance the models look for, then correct your data directly through the MSCI and Sustainalytics issuer portals — so real performance is credited instead of estimated.
05Can I pay for a better rating?+
No — the core MSCI and Sustainalytics ESG ratings are unsolicited and cannot be bought. (Both firms sell separate, clearly distinct products, such as MSCI’s provisional ratings for private companies.) What genuinely moves the rating is better disclosure and accurate data — which is exactly what we prepare.
06Do you also handle FTSE, CDP, CSA and EcoVadis?+
Yes. These are two of several ratings Thai companies face. We keep one coherent set of ESG facts across all of them — see ratings & submissions, CDP, S&P Global CSA และ EcoVadis.
