ESG Ratings

Our environment, social and governance (ESG) performance is reviewed on a regular basis by various independent ratings agencies. We welcome the feedback and collaboration with these important stakeholders – as well as many other stakeholders – and reflect on their views about our performance and transparency.

QIAGEN is currently concentrating its engagement on these three international ratings agencies, all of which also provide ratings on QIAGEN based on other financial metrics.

The ratings and feedback provided by various ESG rating agencies help us to continuously improve our performance. Our scores reflect the increase in scope and transparency of our ESG data reporting since 2019 – and our commitment to deliver further improvements.

Building on the foundation of ratings from these agencies, we are reviewing opportunities to expand this list and share the results with our stakeholders.
