Nvyra’s Global Environmental Rating Methodology measures the real environmental cost of economic activity by converting pollution into dollar-denominated social costs. Instead of scoring policies or promises, we quantify the unremediated harm companies impose on society for every dollar of revenue they generate.
Our framework applies across sectors, geographies, and business models — using a single, absolute scale that enables true comparability. By pricing pollution directly, we bring environmental externalities into financial, regulatory, and investment decision-making.
Whether you’re assessing environmental risk, comparing companies across industries, or designing policy, our global ratings provide clear, consistent, and decision-ready insight.
Nvyra begins with real-world pollution — emissions to air, water, and soil, along with hazardous and persistent waste. We focus on pollutants with established scientific damage pathways and credible monetized valuations, including greenhouse gases, air pollutants, toxic releases, and waste-related impacts.
Each pollutant is assigned a social cost based on authoritative scientific and regulatory sources. By translating diverse environmental harms into a single monetary metric, we make impacts comparable across companies, sectors, and regions.
Environmental harm looks different across industries — from power generation and manufacturing to transport, agriculture, and services. Nvyra normalizes total environmental cost by adjusted operating revenue, measuring pollution intensity rather than scale.
Every company receives:
• A Point-in-Time (PIT) Rating: current environmental cost per $1M of revenue
• A Forward Rating: expected environmental cost intensity over five years
• A Summary Opinion: a directional, risk-aware view of future trajectory
We measure pollution in dollars, not relative scores — revealing the true cost companies impose on society.
All companies are assessed on a single global scale, enabling comparison across sectors, regions, and business models.
Our ratings capture both realized environmental harm and projected future exposure under uncertainty.
Nvyra’s Global Rating Methodology provides the common framework across all sectors. Each sector methodology applies this framework to the specific operational, regulatory, and pollution profiles of that industry.
