 Scoring Methodology
Assessment relies primarily on publicly available and easily accessible information – annual report,
company websites, company announcements, circulars, articles of association, minutes of shareholders
meetings, CG policies, codes of conduct and sustainability reports.

Step 1: Level 1 Scoring

 each descriptor/ item in Level 1 attracts 1 point
 add all scores in each Part, divide by the number of questions,
multiply weightage and then add to sum of other Parts
 conducted by the individual CG experts designated to assess that
country
 peer review conducted on a sample for quality control
 If items are mandated, by default get 1 point (except for part D)

Step 2: Level 2 Scoring

 bonus scores varies (from +1 to +2)
 penalty scores (from - 1 to -10)
Step 3: Total Scores
add up sum of level 1 and 2 to arrive at final score
