Our Project Developer Engagement Process.
You can proactively reach out to us about getting your project rated and share relevant data to maximise the chances of having your project assessed and streamline the engagement process. Do so here by sharing key project information and project boundary data.
Ahead of a new Rating or updating a Rating, we will contact the developer to let them know and request the current documentation and boundary information (if applicable) to ensure the most accurate rating possible.
We may request further information or clarification, such as detailed financial models, evidence of activities occurring, new documentation, etc. alongside publicly available information.
Our Ratings Team applies our ratings framework to analyze all of the developer-provided information alongside all publicly available information to produce the final Rating.
Provided the developer has engaged with us in good faith throughout the rating process, we share the Rating with them, allowing a window of time for feedback to be considered before publishing.
Under certain circumstances or following significant events occurring in the project, we may need to review or update the Rating. In these instances, we will reach out to the project’s developer to understand more.
Post-Publication Engagement Process for Ratings
After publication, the project developer can continue to offer additional data and information to be considered in our Rating. We’ll aim to respond promptly to any questions or feedback and take the provided extra feedback and information into account where appropriate.
If the developer has raised a grievance, we aim to notify of the outcome within 30 days of receiving the information necessary to assess the grievance.

How we assess projects.
How we use you information.
Most of the information needed to produce a Rating is available publicly. However, we may need additional information or clarifications. In these instances, we often engage under confidentiality agreements so that the developer feels comfortable discussing their project openly.
We store any shared information confidentially. In most cases, if we need to include or refer to any information in the published Rating, we will flag this before publishing and ensure the developer is comfortable.
However, to uphold our independence, we reserve the right to refer to any information that significantly shapes the Rating.
