Atlantic Grupa first in Croatia to be assigned an ESG score from LSEG

Atlantic Grupa is the first company in Croatia to be assigned an ESG score from LSEG, earning it a place on the global stage among companies whose ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance is measured by the London Stock Exchange Group, applying a methodology that covers a number of complex and interrelated indicators. Atlantic was assigned the final grade of A– (80 out of 100), rating the company among the top of the industry and testifying to its continuous systematic and long-term efforts in the area of ESG, with the best result achieved in the S (social) pillar. With a final ranking of 28/505 (28th out of 505 companies in the observed industry group), Atlantic has earned its place among the top ranked companies from the industry.

The LSEG ESG score reflects the company's ESG performance solely based on publicly available data, with 186 different metrics used for the calculation. The ESG scoring methodology uses percentile rank scores to objectively and transparently measure a company's ESG performance and its commitment and effectiveness across all three pillars, covering ten themes such as emissions, environmental product innovation, human rights, shareholders, etc. To calculate the environmental (E) and social (S) category scores, industry groups are used as the benchmark, as these topics are more relevant and comparable for companies within the same industries. To calculate the governance (G) category scores, the country of incorporation is used as the benchmark, as best governance practices are more consistent within countries. Given that its core activity is the production and distribution of food and beverages, Atlantic Grupa has been assessed and ranked in the Food & Tobacco industry group.
