## And against it

- "Private data vendors like MSCI and Sustainalytics view information with different lenses. Their datasets show low correlation in how they view public companies" (Muse Glimmer 30B, ESG and carbon reporting)
- "Some major ESG raters (e.g., MSCI, S&P Global, Sustainalytics) have faced criticism for inconsistencies, lack of forward-looking analysis, or opacity." (MiniMax M2.5, ESG and carbon reporting)
