During the registration, when entering the VAT number, we connect to official databases and immediately identify the core characteristics of your company. Thanks to this automatic and real-time connection, we are able to automatically prepare calculation matrices, evaluation algorithms and customized questionnaires on the company. We only process and evaluete consistent and relevant input, providing a tailor-made self-assessment for your company.
Furthermore, with just one click, even before conducting the self-assessment, our algorithms can generate preliminary ESG risk indicators by cross-referencing specific company demographic data.
The system assesses the company by dynamically combining:
Every time an impact module is concluded, the algorithm instantly generates a customized report for the resolution of the critical issues detected, the improvements that can be implemented and the met criteria, arranged on 3 risk levels.
The degree of compliance is estimated, indicating the conformity to rules, regulations, and standards associated with each question and topic addressed.
The detailed report for each module also includes benchmarks that help understand how the company is positioned in relation to the European and Italian averages, competitors, the target market, and its size.
The company will receive over 170 different guidance related to:
Thanks to the over 200 pages of punctually categorized reports, the company will be able to use the information contained to quantify the impacts and make declarations on the intentions of sustainable development, drawing up a mini sustainability report to all intents and purposes (DNF).
Moreover, our tool will help you in drafting your impact assessment.
I questionari di ecomate
Ultima revisione dei questionari banche al 2023
We have implemented the Taxonomy in our algorithms meticulously following European legislation.
Ecomate is compliant with all guidelines:
The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), on transparency in the sustainable investment products market, is included in our Rating products (for the investee companies) and Monitor (for the fund that monitors), and strictly follows the regulation.
While the fund automatically reports the PAI, our Rating helps companies to disclose useful data.
All the data in the dashboard and in the details can be exported in different formats at any time and can be reworked by your technical exhibits and consultants or archived.
L'unica piattaforma con la "spunta blu" per la verifica del profilo, con emissione del Rating e Outlook
Tutti gli utenti dei prodotti di Rating Ecomate possono associare alla propria licenza premium l'opzione di verifica del proprio profilo. La verifica del profilo di Rating è una funzionalità su richiesta che coinvolge gli analisti Ecomate; la procedura di verifica riguarda aspetti formali e aspetti sostanziali in termini di risposte date e coerenza tra queste. A valle delle verifiche viene effettuata la stesura di un outlook di carattere qualitativo/discrezionale, sulla base delle informazioni reperite sull'azienda, sul contesto in cui opera, benchmarking e mercato di riferimento. Un profilo di Rating ESG verificato è importante perché consiste nella vera e propria emissione del Rating.
This scale and grade is representing the risk level in regard of how the model is expressing its alignment and objectives.
There are 9 risk clusters, 11 grades and 10 scoring scales.
| AAA | 80-100 | VERY LOW RISK | Being fully in line with the European Union 2030 strategy and even anticipating some 2050 targets, the company can not only be an ESG leader, but also looking ahead with very positive internal and external impacts among the entire ESG materiality and a very high transparency level towards the stakeholders. |
| AA | 65-79 | ||
| A | 55-64 | LOW RISK | A resilient company capable of complying and reporting into different frameworks, understands how to deliver the right ESG strategy along with solid results. |
| BBB | 45-54 | MEDIUM/LOW RISK | The company has surely started a journey of sustainable development, which is opening the doors to new opportunities of growth. However, it needs to focus more for not being left behind. |
| BB | 35-44 | MEDIUM RISK | There is an initial awareness level towards sustainability issues, but the progress may be too slow. There is also a poor transparency towards the stakeholders. |
| B | 25-34 | MEDIUM/HIGH RISK | |
| CCC | 15-24 | HIGH RISK | While the company may comply with the minimum requirements of the national regulatory system, it is still vulnerable to one or more ESG negative events.

The materiality analysis is the study of the relevance of sustainability issues within the company, and it is the process that underpins our assessment method.
We have incorporated over 70 sustainability thematic areas into our evaluation algorithms, and their weights are dynamically updated based on the characteristics of the company under evaluation. Every company is unique, with its specific areas of interest and material topics. For any of them, our dynamic materiality approach enables us to provide a precise and customized assessment.
In line with our values, we have decided to publish our technical-scientific platform architecture, regarding the ESG rating process.
In order to improve the current model, the experts of our open and decentralized technical-scientific committee contribute daily with their know-how.
At Ecomate, we put transparency first while speaking to our customers.
Our calculation system is built on a dynamic algorithm that provides companies with constantly updated information. This information is aligned with advancements in scientific research, as well as national and European legislation. In fact, our scientific committee is constantly integrating new regulations, directives, sustainable practices, and more. When new developments are introduced, companies can supplement with new findings and keep their status updated.
Our scoring model and policy allow the technical-scientific panel to fast and continuous improvement, aiming at the highest data refresh rate.
The conditions and events where the system prompts an update are for instance when a new NACE rule is included, or a new data input is added or removed.

On top of this, we perform cross-checks with data from the government's business registry and certain open data sources.
As our user database grows, we will integrate and incorporate machine learning for advanced functionalities.
