Gaïa Rating, EthiFinance's ESG rating agency, conducts an annual data collection campaign covering most of the ETI SMEs listed in France. Based on this information, companies are rated on their level of transparency and performance. Rankings have been established by category of turnover in order to reward the best players from a restricted panel of 230 SMEs ETI listed on the Paris stock exchange meeting 3 size criteria and a liquidity criterion. Ratings are used by leading management companies in their management processes and investment decisions.
