What does a TIM Rating actually give us?
A TIM Rating provides independent proof of your sustainability performance. Not only for your own organisation, but also for customers, banks, lenders and business partners. The outcome is a clear one-to-five-star rating that shows exactly where you stand and where opportunities for improvement lie. No lengthy reports. Just clear insight you can act on.
Why is an independent TIM Rating important?
Because sustainability claims are increasingly scrutinised. An independent TIM Rating shows that your story doesn’t just sound convincing. It holds up! That builds trust and helps prevent discussions about goodwashing.
Isn’t a TIM Rating a time-consuming process?
No. We focus only on the topics that are relevant to your organisation. Where possible, we build on work you’ve already done, including ESG reports, VSME reporting and other existing documentation. One dataset. One dossier. Less duplication. Less frustration. Better results. our investment: one thorough round of insight, for lasting results.
What makes the TIM Rating different from other sustainability ratings?
The TIM Rating doesn’t just assess policies. It measures what your organisation actually does and achieves. The rating is based on three pillars: Transparency (20%), Impact (60%), Management (20%). The result is a complete, balanced and honest picture of your sustainability performance.
Is the TIM Rating only relevant for large organisations?
Not at all. Any organisation that takes sustainability seriously benefits from clear insight and independent evidence. Whether you’re just getting started or already well advanced, a TIM Rating helps you move forward with confidence.
How much does sustainability assurance or a TIM Rating cost?
Every sustainability assurance engagement and every TIM Rating is different. That’s why we first take the time to understand your organisation and your objectives before preparing a proposal. You’ll receive that proposal within one working day of our introductory meeting, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
What exactly is a TIM Rating?
The TIM Rating shows how your organisation is really performing when it comes to sustainability. We don’t measure what you promise. We measure what you do and the impact it has on people, the environment and governance. The outcome is one clear result: a one-to-five-star rating that shows exactly where you stand and where you can improve.
No lengthy reports. Just an honest starting point for your next step.
What does a TIM Rating actually deliver?
Four things that matter.
- Recognition: A star rating you can share with customers, banks, investors and business partners.
- Insight: A clear understanding of where your organisation is making the greatest difference.
- Focus: A better understanding of where your biggest opportunities lie.
- Credibility: Independent evidence that strengthens trust in your sustainability performance.
