MSCI assigns SpaceX its lowest possible environmental, social and governance (ESG) rating, according to reports referencing an MSCI “triple C” score. The rating places SpaceX at the bottom of MSCI’s ESG scale, described by outlets as comparable to Russia’s position after the country’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The assessments highlight that MSCI’s scoring framework evaluates multiple ESG factors rather than focusing only on environmental performance. The Financial Times reports that SpaceX receives a score of “triple C,” which is the lowest rating category available under MSCI’s methodology, and notes the comparison to Russia’s post-invasion rating outcome. Seeking Alpha similarly reports that SpaceX draws MSCI’s lowest ESG rating, framing it as aligning with Russia’s score following the 2022 Ukraine invasion. Both accounts emphasize the relative placement on MSCI’s scale rather than providing additional details on the specific ESG drivers behind the rating. The companies’ reported figures reflect MSCI’s evaluation at the time of publication.
