Methodology

Every indicator is assigned to one thematic area, and every area to one ESG pillar. The table below shows all areas currently scored, with the number of underlying indicators each one aggregates; the indicator catalogue lists all 278 of them one by one.

The sign of every indicator (whether a higher value means more or less ESG risk) is fixed in a human-signed register (lib/polarity-register.mjs) with a written rationale per indicator, a first reviewer and a slot for the second reviewer. No sign is inferred from an indicator's name anywhere in the pipeline: an indicator that reaches the scoring step without a signed entry fails the build, and an external source whose declared sign disagrees with its entry fails it too. Entries flagged as owner decisions are applied as recommended and listed for confirmation.

First review

v0 audit, 2026-09-27 — all 310 indicators reaching the scoring step (v1.1 review 2), plus the 7 administrative-performance indicators sourced for v1.2 (screened against the 253 indicators scored in v1.1) and the 18 series of the v1.2 environmental review (5 air-quality, 11 pollution-pressure, noise and waste-water, 2 greenhouse-gas; each screened against the indicators scored before it was added), and the 2 EEA series of the v1.2 stale-series review (bathing-water classification, waste-water treatment compliance), and the 6 series of the v1.2 missing-indicator review (net land take, three projected climate hazards, energy class of dwellings, indoor radon; 13 candidates screened against the 269 indicators scored before it), the 5 series of the v1.2 social-candidate review (hip-fracture surgery within 48 hours, 30-day mortality after a heart attack, eviction orders, energy poverty, inner-area residents; 7 candidates screened against the 275 indicators scored before it) and the 2 series of the v1.2 governance-candidate review (Covenant of Mayors plan coverage, regional adaptation stage; 7 items screened against the 280 indicators scored before it); the v1.2 duplicate audit of 29 Sep 2026 re-tested every pair of the 282 series then scored, by correlation and by name, for the same measure published under two codes (7 same-measure pairs, each resolved under the owner's sourcing rule); the owner's bed-capacity ruling of 29 Sep 2026 screened 5 bed series (4 ISTAT, 1 Eurostat) against the 275 indicators scored after the audit

Second review

pending: every entry carries an empty second-reviewer slot until countersigned

Rule

Every scored indicator needs an entry signed by two reviewers. Entries flagged userDecision are applied as recommended and listed for the owner's confirmation.

Signs corrected from v1.0 (27)

v1.0 inferred the sign from keywords in the indicator name. The audit that produced the register reversed or retired the following indicators; the rationale is the one recorded in the register.

Owner decisions (35 ruled)

Indicators whose sign is a matter of judgement rather than of fact. The reviewer applied a recommended reading and recorded the alternative; the methodology owner then ruled on each entry. “Ruling” gives the date and whether the recommendation was confirmed or the alternative applied; the sign shown is the one in force.

Indicators retired since v1.0 (43)

Indicators that were scored in v1.0 and are now excluded by the register. 30 were retired by the v1.1 audit: economic outcomes that measure the level of the regional economy rather than its ESG risk, absolute totals that already have a normalised twin, non-discriminating hazard classes, corporate location-risk exposures, and survey measures superseded by a newer edition. 13 were retired in v1.2: series replaced by a fresher or deeper source, owner rulings, and the same measure published under two codes.

All excluded indicators (74)

Absolute totals (ammonia, drinking-water abstraction, Ramsar wetlands, threats against journalists, remittances) are first converted to intensities per inhabitant or per km2 (intensityTransforms); totals that already have a normalised twin in the source are not scored (hazardous waste in tonnes and per unit of GDP, material consumption in tonnes and per unit of GDP, tonnes of separately collected waste, plant counts, road-death counts). The v1.2 environmental counts and totals arrive as intensities computed in fetch-environment.mjs: Seveso establishments per million inhabitants, ISPRA emissions of SOx per km² and of NOx and primary PM2.5 per inhabitant; for each, the form that passes the duplicate screen is scored and the other form is disclosed in the polarity register. Then min-max normalization to 0-100 across the 20 Italian regions using each indicator's most recent available year. Polarity inverts the scale where higher raw values indicate higher risk. 100 = best-performing region (very low risk), 0 = worst (very high risk). Scores are carried at full precision through every aggregation step and rounded only for presentation, always to the nearest integer (map, score cards, ranking table, region pages and Annex C of the methodology document); ranks are taken on the unrounded values. Risk bands are assigned on the score rounded to the nearest integer. Exception: categorical classes are absolute ratings scored on a fixed scale rather than min-max: hazard classes (ThinkHazard! coastal flood and tsunami, DPC volcanic class: none/very low=100, low=67, medium=33, high=0), the health recovery-plan regime (no plan=100, plan administered by the region=50, plan under a commissario ad acta=0) and the stage of the regional climate-adaptation strategy and plan (strategy and plan=100, strategy=67, path started=33, other initiatives only=0; Trentino-Alto Adige takes the resident-weighted mean of the Bolzano and Trento classes). 'No data' for coastal flood and tsunami means no exposure (landlocked region) and scores 100. Local government debt (EUR million) is divided by resident population before scoring (intensityTransforms).

Intensity transforms (6)

Absolute totals reward or punish size rather than performance. Before scoring, the following series are divided by a regional denominator (resident population or surface area); totals that already have a normalised twin in the source are excluded instead.

• SDG:SDG-250÷ surface (km²) → Tonnellate per km2 di superficie regionale

  Ammonia from agriculture per km2 of regional surface. Utilised agricultural area would be the ideal denominator; it is not in the region file, so total surface is used and documented.

• SDG:SDG-378÷ resident population → Litri per abitante al giorno

  Drinking-water abstraction per inhabitant per day.

• SDG:SDG-168÷ surface (km²) → Valori percentuali della superficie regionale

  Ramsar wetland area as a share of regional surface.

• SDG:SDG-527÷ resident population → Per milione di abitanti

  Threats against journalists per million inhabitants.

• SDG:SDG-325÷ resident population → Euro per abitante

  Remittances abroad per inhabitant.

• BDI:LOCAL_DEBT÷ resident population → Euro per abitante

  Local government debt (regions, provinces, municipalities, local health entities) per inhabitant; the stock in EUR million would otherwise rank regions by size.

Indicator scores average (equal weight) into thematic groups: the BES domain or SDG goal for ISTAT indicators, and for external sources either a cross-provider group (Physical hazards, Projected climate hazards, Emissions and transition risk, Biodiversity and land, Forests, Hydrogeological hazard, Air quality, Pollution pressures, EU-funds delivery, Public finance and payment discipline, Health governance, Climate governance) or the BES domain that measures the same theme (EQI joins Politica e istituzioni, old-age dependency joins Salute, the EEA waste-water treatment compliance share, perceived noise and ISPRA net land take join Ambiente, the EEA bathing-water classification takes the place of the ISTAT bathing series in SDG Goal 14), as recorded in thematicGroups. The v1.2 administrative-performance groups read what the regional administration runs: its health service (Ministry of Health LEA scores and recovery-plan regime), its debt and payment discipline (Banca d'Italia, MEF-RGS) and its delivery of EU funds (2014-2020 and 2021-2027 cohesion programmes, PNRR); they sit in G because they describe the quality of the administration, not the well-being of residents. Every group holds at least minGroupSize indicators. Group scores average into E, S, G pillar scores; pillars combine into the total using pillarWeights. For NUTS 2 external sources (EQI, Eurostat), the provinces of Bolzano (ITH1) and Trento (ITH2) are averaged into Trentino-Alto Adige. Pure economic outcomes (GDP per capita, investment rate, loan default rate, manufacturing value added and employment shares, GDP and productivity growth) are not scored: they describe the level of the regional economy, not its ESG risk.

Each thematic area carries equal weight inside its pillar, and pillar scores combine into the total with the following weights: E 33.3% · S 33.3% · G 33.3%. The weighting scheme is configurable and is the future hook for rebalancing against external country ratings.

Regions are ranked on the unrounded total and on each unrounded pillar score (1 = lowest risk). Regions with identical unrounded scores share a joint rank (competition ranking: 1, 2, 2, 4). Because min-max scaling pulls every pillar's mean toward the middle of the scale, pillar levels are not compared with one another ('E is the strongest pillar'); regions are described by their rank within each pillar ('2nd of 20 on G').

ISTAT publishes many indicators in both the BES and SDG frameworks under the same indicator code. Each such indicator counts once: the vintage with the most recent data year is kept (tie goes to the SDG file, the more recently curated publication), and the survivor is grouped under its BES domain so the thematic structure stays stable.

Beyond identical codes, the Pearson correlation of the latest raw values across regions is computed for every pair of admitted indicators. A pair with |r| >= 0.99 is one variable published twice: exactly one member is kept under a documented decision (the fresher vintage; on a tie the BES publication or the primary, non-derived measure) and the other is listed among the exclusions. Pairs with 0.95 <= |r| < 0.99 are kept and listed for review: they measure distinct concepts that co-move across regions. Every pair is also read by name, whatever its r, for the same measure published under two codes (two age bands or recall windows of one survey variable, two tails of one distribution, a threshold version of a published share); such a pair is resolved in the polarity register like a duplicate, one member kept under the same tie-break (duplicate audit of 29 Sep 2026). An undocumented pair above the duplicate threshold fails the build.

Current vintage: 51 indicators merged by ISTAT code, 6 statistical duplicates dropped, 27 pairs in the review band (0.95 ≤ |r| < 0.99) kept as distinct concepts.

Every thematic group holds at least 2 indicators. Where a theme is measured by several providers, or where a single external series measures the theme of an ISTAT BES domain, the indicators share one group so the theme is weighted once:

• EnvironmentalPhysical hazardsDPC:SEISMIC_Z12, DPC:VOLCANIC, TH:CF, TH:TS, EUROSTAT:CDD, RADON:INDOOR_MEAN

  Seismic exposure (share of residents in seismic zones 1-2, DPC classification x ISTAT population), volcanic hazard (DPC register), coastal-flood and tsunami classes (ThinkHazard!, kept where no finer official source exists) and chronic heat exposure (cooling degree days) form one natural-hazard theme. ThinkHazard! earthquake, wildfire, heat, drought and volcano classes were retired in v1.1 because they did not discriminate between regions or were wrong (see the polarity register). Indoor radon (mean concentration measured in dwellings by the ISS-ANPA national survey 1989-1998, still the reference of the national radon action plan 2023-2032) joins the theme as the geogenic hazard of the ground buildings stand on (v1.2 missing-indicator review of 28 Sep 2026; flagged as stale).

• EnvironmentalProjected climate hazardsCCKP:HOT_DAYS_35_CHANGE, CCKP:SPEI12_CHANGE, CCKP:RX1DAY_CHANGE

  Forward-looking physical climate risk, the only projected indicators of the rating (v1.2 missing-indicator review of 28 Sep 2026): the change between 1995-2014 and 2040-2059 of three hazards, days with a maximum above 35 °C (heat), the 12-month standardised precipitation-evapotranspiration index (drought) and the wettest day of the year (extreme rain), under the high-emission scenario SSP5-8.5 that ESRS E1 (AR 11) asks physical-risk analysis to consider (CMIP6 0.25° bias-adjusted ensemble median, World Bank Climate Change Knowledge Portal, regional means). Present-day levels are already read by observed series (cooling degree days; BES warm-spell, extreme-rain and dry-spell days), and projected levels correlate at 0.94 to 1.00 with the historical run, so only the change is scored. Of the eight projected variables screened, consecutive dry days, the hottest day of the year and tropical nights failed the duplicate screen; the 5-day rainfall maximum (r = 0.60 between SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5) and days above 50 mm (whose SSP2-4.5 change duplicates the observed extreme-rain days, 10AMB026, at 0.84) read the same hazard as the wettest day, less robustly. Regional values under SSP2-4.5 correlate at 0.99 (heat), 0.97 (drought) and 0.80 (rain) with those under SSP5-8.5.

• EnvironmentalEmissions and transition riskEMIS:GHG_PC, EMIS:GHG_GDP, EUROSTAT:ETS_JOBS, SIAPE:MEAN_ENERGY_CLASS

  GHG emissions per capita, carbon intensity of GDP and carbon-intensive employment describe one theme (climate change mitigation and transition risk, ESRS E1); an emission level per head is not a theme of its own. From v1.2 both emission measures come from the ISPRA national inventory (2023 provincial disaggregation; CO2, CH4 and N2O), which replaced the EDGAR-based OECD regional series by owner decision of 28 Sep 2026 (one source per theme, the most trusted and the most recent). The energy performance of the housing stock joins the theme in the missing-indicator review of 28 Sep 2026: the mean energy class of dwellings certified in 2025 for a sale or a rental (ENEA SIAPE, all ten classes from G to A4), the transition risk that the minimum energy performance standards of the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EU) 2024/1275 place on property owners.

• EnvironmentalBiodiversity and landWWF:ECOSYSTEM_DEGRADED, WWF:POLLINATION, WWF:LAND_USE_CHANGE, EUROSTAT:WOODLAND, JRC:SOIL_EROSION

  Only pressure and condition measures are read as risk: degraded ecosystems, pollination-service risk, land-use change, soil erosion by water (ESRS E4) and woodland cover. The WWF 'exposure' indicators (Key Biodiversity Areas, Ramsar sites, range rarity) were retired in v1.1: they encode the location risk of a company operating near sensitive sites, which for a territory is natural wealth already read positively through protected areas.

• GovernancePolitica e istituzioniEQI:EQI, MI:MAFIA_DISSOLUTIONS

  The European Quality of Government Index measures the theme of the ISTAT BES domain 'Politica e istituzioni' (trust in institutions, participation, quality of public administration) and joins it as an independent external measurement. Municipal councils dissolved for mafia infiltration (Ministry of the Interior decrees, scored from v1.2 by owner decision of 28 Sep 2026) join the same domain as its one administrative integrity measure.

• SocialSaluteEUROSTAT:OLD_AGE_DEP

  The old-age dependency ratio expresses the structural ageing pressure on health and care systems; it joins the ISTAT BES health domain, which already reads ageing through healthy life expectancy at 65 and mortality at 65+.

• SocialGood health and well-beingEUROSTAT:HOSPITAL_BEDS

  Eurostat available hospital beds (hlth_rs_bdsrg2, 2024) replaces ISTAT SDG-403 ordinary hospital beds (the same Ministry of Health measure, latest 2023) under the owner's sourcing rule. It takes that series' place in SDG Goal 3, next to ISTAT day-hospital beds (SDG-404).

• EnvironmentalAir qualityAIR:PM10_DAYS, AIR:NO2_MEAN, AIR:O3_DAYS

  Ambient air pollution is the largest environmental health risk in Italy and was read by one indicator only until v1.2 (BES PM2.5 exceedance share, 1 of 19 in the Ambiente domain). ISTAT publishes the ISPRA measurements for the 109 provincial capitals but no regional aggregate; the capitals are aggregated here as a mean weighted by the population of the province each capital represents. Three pollutants with distinct sources form the theme: PM10 days above the daily limit value (Directive 2008/50/EC, 35 days), NO2 annual mean (traffic and combustion) and ozone days above the long-term objective (summer photochemistry). The PM10 annual mean (r = 0.91 with the PM10 exceedance days) and the PM2.5 annual mean (theme already scored by BES 10AMB020; r = 0.83 with soil sealing) were screened out. Weighted once so that the theme counts as one Ambiente-sized voice in E.

• EnvironmentalPollution pressuresRIR:SEVESO_PC, EMIS:SO2_KM2, EMIS:NOX_PC, EMIS:PM25_PC, GW:NITRATES_50

  Three pressures that the concentration and condition measures do not read, each from an ISPRA inventory (v1.2): major-accident hazard (Seveso III establishments per million inhabitants), anthropogenic emissions of the main air pollutants (SOx per km², NOx and primary PM2.5 per inhabitant, 2023 provincial inventory) and nitrate contamination of groundwater (share of stations at or above 50 mg/l, 2020-2023). The five members correlate at most at |r| 0.63 with one another and at 0.76 with the Air quality and transition-risk members. Weighted once, so the three emission series count as three fifths of one theme rather than as three themes.

• EnvironmentalAmbienteUWWTD:SECONDARY_COMPLIANCE, AVQ:NOISE, SUOLO:NET_LAND_TAKE

  The share of urban waste-water load receiving compliant secondary treatment (EEA Waterbase, Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive reporting, situation at 31 Dec 2022) replaces the 2015 ISTAT census share of the BES Ambiente domain (10AMB013) and takes its place in that domain (v1.2; scored by owner decision of 28 Sep 2026 in place of the ISPRA treated-load share from the same report, an accepted exception to the duplicate rule: r = -0.84 with teenage fertility). Perceived noise (households reporting noise in their area, ISTAT AVQ 2025) joins the same domain by owner decision of 28 Sep 2026, an accepted exception to the duplicate rule (r = 0.90 with overcrowded housing; see the polarity register). Net land take (ISPRA-SNPA, 2024: new consumed land net of restorations per hectare of territory) joins the domain in the missing-indicator review of 28 Sep 2026 as the yearly flow of the soil-sealing stock the domain already reads (10AMB018; r = 0.67).

• EnvironmentalLife below waterBWD:EXCELLENT_SHARE

  The EEA bathing-water classification (Directive 2006/7/EC, season 2025) is the primary source of the ISTAT SDG 14 series on bathing waters of excellent quality (SDG-499), whose 2024 values it reproduces exactly; it replaces that series one season later and takes its place in Goal 14 next to marine litter (SDG-488), and it also replaces the stale BES coastal-bathability share (10AMB007, 2019) at the owner's request (v1.2 stale-series review).

• GovernanceHealth governanceMDS:NSG_CORE_MIN, MDS:RECOVERY_PLAN, PNE:HIP_FRACTURE_48H, PNE:AMI_MORTALITY_30D

  Health is the largest item a regional administration runs. The Ministry of Health's own two tests of that stewardship form one governance theme (v1.2): the NSG CORE score of the weakest macro-area (the binding LEA test) and the deficit recovery-plan regime (plan, plan under a commissario ad acta). Two outcomes of the hospital networks that the region plans under DM 70/2015 join the theme in the social-candidate review of 28 Sep 2026, both risk-adjusted by the AGENAS National Outcomes Programme (PNE 2025, discharges of 2024): the share of hip fractures at 65+ operated within 48 hours, by region of residence, and the 30-day mortality after acute myocardial infarction, as the case-weighted mean of the region's hospitals. They correlate at 0.02 with each other, and each reads a different side of the group (hip-fracture timeliness 0.56 with the NSG CORE minimum, infarction mortality 0.54 with the recovery-plan class). Population health itself stays in the S factor (BES Salute).

• GovernancePublic finance and payment disciplineBDI:LOCAL_DEBT, RGS:PAYMENT_DELAY

  Local government debt per inhabitant (Banca d'Italia, whole local sector resident in the region including State liquidity advances) and the weighted payment delay to suppliers of the region and its local health entities (MEF-RGS Piattaforma dei Crediti Commerciali) describe one theme, the financial discipline of the administration (v1.2). Deficits are not scored separately: the recovery-plan regime already reads the health deficit and no regional-account deficit series is published with comparable timeliness.

• GovernanceEU-funds deliveryOC:ABSORPTION_1420, OC:CONCLUDED_1420, EC:INTERIM_PAYMENTS_2127, PNRR:PAYMENT_SHARE

  Delivery of EU-funded investment is one theme across three cycles: absorption and completion of the closed 2014-2020 cycle (OpenCoesione), interim payments received on the open 2021-2027 regional programmes (EC Cohesion Open Data, v1.2) and payments made on the PNRR projects located in the region as a share of their financing (ReGiS via OpenPNRR, v1.2). Weighted once so that the open cycles do not outweigh the rest of the factor.

• GovernanceClimate governanceGCOM:PLAN_COVERAGE, ADAPT:REGIONAL_STAGE

  Climate policy below the State runs on two tiers, and the governance-candidate review of 29 Sep 2026 scores one indicator for each as a new G theme: the municipal tier as the share of residents covered by a Covenant of Mayors action plan with a 2030 or 2050 target (PAESC, own or joint plan of an active signatory; JRC MyCovenant 6th release, 2025) and the regional tier as the stage of the regional adaptation strategy and plan (ISPRA sheet of 31 Dec 2025 on the MASE survey of the regions, fixed scale). The two correlate at 0.17. Emissions and physical climate risk stay in the E factor (Emissions and transition risk, Physical hazards, Projected climate hazards); this group reads whether the administrations plan for them.

• SocialBenessere economicoSFRATTI:ORDERS_HH, OIPE:ENERGY_POVERTY

  Two hardship measures that no scored series reads join the ISTAT BES domain 'Benessere economico' in the social-candidate review of 28 Sep 2026: eviction orders issued per 1,000 households (Ministry of the Interior, 2023; acute housing distress, 78 per cent of orders for arrears; Calabria unscored for missing provincial returns) and households in energy poverty (OIPE 2024, the measure of the national energy and climate plan; scored by owner decision at the duplicate threshold, r = 0.80 with perceived job insecurity). Within the domain, evictions correlate at 0.61 with housing-cost overburden (SDG-222) and energy poverty at 0.60 with the at-risk-of-poverty rate (04BEC003); the two correlate at -0.44 with each other.

• GovernanceQualità dei serviziSNAI:INNER_AREAS

  The share of residents of inner areas (SNAI map 2020: municipalities classed intermediate, peripheral or ultra-peripheral by road time to the nearest town offering upper-secondary schools, a hospital with a first-level emergency department and a railway station) joins the ISTAT BES domain 'Qualità dei servizi' in the social-candidate review of 28 Sep 2026 as the structural measure of distance from essential services. The domain's survey measure of households reporting difficulty in reaching services (12SER004) reads a different construct (r = 0.17).

An indicator whose most recent regional value predates 2020 is flagged as stale on the region pages and listed here. No data-age cut-off is applied to the score (decision taken in v1.0 and kept in v1.1 and v1.2); instead each stale indicator carries a note on why no newer regional edition exists, and indicators superseded by a newer edition of the same survey are retired through the polarity register (v1.1: the 2014 violence-against-women measures, replaced by the 2025 survey scored as SDG-258; v1.2: the 2019 coastal-bathability share, replaced with the ISTAT bathing-water series by the EEA site classification for the 2025 season). A v1.2 search for replacements of the stale corruption-request and small-firm credit series (ANAC, Banca d'Italia BDS) found none that passes the admission tests (see sources not integrable).
