  • The Confusions in Nordic ESG Ratings
    Rating Objectivity: The Confusions in Nordic ESG Ratings ESG Ratings Subjectivity and its Consequences MASTER THESIS WITHIN: Business Administration NUMBER OF CREDITS: 30 ECTS PROGRAM OF STUDY: Civilekonom AUTHOR: John Rydholm & Samuel Schultzberg Bagge TUTOR: Fredrik Hansen & Toni Duras JÖNKÖPING May 2020 Master Thesis within Business Administration Title: Rating Objectivity: The Confusions in Nordic ESG Ratings - ESG Ratings Subjectivity and its Consequences Authors: John Rydholm, Samuel Schultzberg Bagge Tutors: Fredrik Hansen, Toni Duras Date: May 2020 Key terms: ESG, CSR, Ratings, Rating agencies, MSCI, Thomson Reuters, Sustainalytics, RobecoSAM Abstract: Environmental, Social and Governance measurements have significantly increased in usage due to growing concerns for environmental and sustainability problems in today’s world. However, with no commonly agreed-upon criteria for ESG ratings, the scoring measure creates confusion both at the investor and company level. Besides, ESG agencies have different processes and parameters for measuring ESG compliance, which contributes to the problem. The study examines four ESG rating agencies’ rating models and ESG scores to get a better understanding of deviations in ESG scores among Nordic companies. By also studying the correlation amongst ESG scores and market capitalizations in firms, the paper hopes to shed light on if any relationships exist between them. Our results show that the four major ESG raters in the study showed a weak to a non-significant correlation against each other. The maximum correlation found was 0.419 between Thomson Reuters and MSCI. RobecoSAM and MSCI showed the lowest significant correlation at 0.291. Sustainalytics was detected not to show any significant correlation with the other raters.

Lundbeck A/S, triggering a €1 million payment. Genmab has reached the second milestone in the collaboration with H.

Under the collaboration with Lundbeck Genmab creates novel human antibodies to three targets identified by Lundbeck and Lundbeck has access to Genmab’s antibody creation and development capabilities, including its state of the art, fully automated pre-clinical antibody screening and characterization capabilities and its proprietary stabilized IgG4 and UniBody therapeutic antibody platforms.

If all milestones in the agreement are achieved, the total value of the agreement to Genmab would be approximately €38 million (approximately DKK 283 million), plus single-digit royalties. “We are very pleased to have met the in vitro proof of concept milestone for another target in the Lundbeck collaboration.
