    * The Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy commissions this study into the transparency of CSR reporting among the 500 largest companies every two years. Additionally,  2023 has been the last reporting year for due to increased report requirements of EU regulation.

    ** QualityScore uses a numeric, decile-based score that indicates a company’s ESG risk relative to their index or region. A score in the 1st decile (QS:1) indicates relatively higher quality governance practices and relatively lower ESG risk.
