Coty has received improved ESG scores from two leading ratings agencies—MSCI and Sustainalytics—reflecting stronger performance in environmental, social, and corporate governance areas relevant to its beauty business.

MSCI upgraded Coty’s ESG Rating from BB to A, citing improvements in packaging waste, raw material sourcing, chemical safety, and governance. The company also maintained the highest rating for its carbon footprint.

Sustainalytics reclassified Coty as a low ESG risk company, with a new score of 18.1 (down from 23.9). This progress places Coty as the lead amongst global beauty companies and 3rd out of 104 in Household Products companies as rated by Sustainalytics.

The ratings follow Coty’s A- score in the 2024 CDP Climate Change disclosure and results shared in its FY24 Sustainability Report, including an 82% cut in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, a 65% drop in air freight emissions, and 100% renewable electricity use in company-owned factories and distribution centers.
