*Innovest's ratings, known as Intangible Value Assessment (IVA) ratings, are based on 4 main pillars: Strategic Governance, Human Capital, Environment and Stakeholder Capital. Each pillar is weighted differently depending on the industry sector to which the rated company belongs, as the principal extra-financial risks faced by firms vary between sectors. For example, a financial services firm faces vastly different non-traditional risks than does an integrated oil & gas company. Firms receive a score of between 1 and 10 for each pillar. These scores, in turn, are attained by aggregating sub-scores for a number of factors underpinning the pillars, including traditional corporate governance, management and strategic decision-making systems for sustainability issues, labor relations, and workplace policies such as diversity. The factors also include environmental management systems, environmental performance on a range of key indicators, stakeholder relations, regulatory and legal issues, community relations, supply chain management, and emerging market performance on issues such as bribery and social and environmental controversies. The resulting IVA score is expressed as a letter grade ranging from AAA to CCC.
**The ratings provided in this table are current as at 31 December 2006. Market cap is in millions of U.S. dollars as of Jan. 9, 2007.
Innovest updates all of its industry sectors throughout the year with the result that each sector is updated at least once annually. The ratings above may thus not be representative of the most current Innovest analysis
