The Scientific Committee, guarantor of our methodologies

The Scientific Committee ensures Vigeo Eiris’ independence and professional excellence. Composed of independent members, the council oversees the quality of our methods and our products, and reviews the conclusions from academic research conducted using our database.

Vigeo Eiris’ Scientific Committee consists of 4 independent members and meets twice a year. It is responsible for the following objectives:

Examining the methodology principles and rules applied to our products before they are launched,
Ensuring the scientific monitoring of the rating activity, including compliance with the application of methodology,
Providing an opinion in case of a dispute between a rated company and Vigeo Eiris (concerning the method used).
