Blancco Awarded "AA" Rating by MSCI ESG
Blancco Technology Group PLC (AIM: BLTG, "Blancco", the "Company" or the
"Group"), the industry standard in data erasure and mobile lifecycle
solutions, is pleased to announce that, as of December 2022, the Group
received an MSCI ESG Rating of 'AA', an upgrade on the previous rating of 'A'.
In October 2022, Blancco published its third annual ESG Report. The report
builds on its Impact narrative and demonstrates the improved management of ESG
risk and opportunity through its performance analysis. The reporting also
aligns to internationally recognised ESG frameworks, the Task Force on
Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) and the Sustainability Accounting
Standards Board (SASB).
MSCI ESG Research provides MSCI ESG Ratings on global public and a few private
companies on a scale of AAA (leader) to CCC (laggard), according to exposure
to industry-specific ESG risks and the ability to manage those risks relative
to peers. This improved rating represents the Group's positive direction of
travel in managing and reporting upon ESG issues material to the business.
Matt Jones, CEO of Blancco, said: "We are delighted to have received an 'AA'
rating from MSCI. This is a testament to our commitment to robust oversight of
ESG and to provide clear and comprehensive reporting. We have made strong
progress in our ESG journey this year, not least in becoming a carbon neutral
business by offsetting our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, which is a significant
step on the pathway to becoming net zero."
