A new generation rating model

Thanks to a major step taken in R&D, the Vigeo group has developed Equitics® : a model based on
internationally recognised standards and characterised by its strength and transparency.

With Equitics®, our analysts assess the degree to which companies under
review take the social responsibility objectives of our analysis ratings model into account in the definition and eployment of their strategy.

The Equitics® database, based on this research, is made available to our clients’ asset managers and
institutional investors for them to:

Establish SRI portfolios, usually on “Best In Class” principles;
Refine their own financial analysis in a “mainstream” context.
