Industry Perspective - The CICC ESG rating framework is structured based on GICS secondary industry characteristics, leading to differences in indicator frameworks and score distributions across industries [5]. - Leading companies in the ESG ratings within industries such as energy, telecommunications, and food and beverage have significant market capitalization effects, while stability in rankings is observed in insurance and consumer goods sectors [5][49]. Individual Stock Perspective - The CICC ESG rating includes total ESG scores and scores for environmental, social, and governance dimensions, with scores standardized within GICS secondary industries, ranging from 0 to 10 [7][56]. - The report provides a summary of ESG scores for A-shares and Hong Kong stocks, reflecting relative performance within their respective industries [7][56]. Rating Characteristics - The rating results indicate a positive correlation between market capitalization and ESG scores, with larger companies generally achieving higher scores [36]. - The analysis shows that stock price risk, measured by maximum drawdown and VaR, is positively correlated with ESG scores, suggesting that better ESG performance may help manage investment risks [45][47].
