When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Bharti Airtel is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).

Bharti Airtel's environmental score

Environmental score: 3.74/100

Bharti Airtel's environmental score of 3.74 puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Bharti Airtel is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

We're not expecting Bharti Airtel to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have Bharti Airtel's shares ever split?

Bharti Airtel's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 23 July 2009. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Bharti Airtel shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Bharti Airtel shares which in turn could have impacted Bharti Airtel's share price.
