Moody’s views and strategy on the future of ESG ratings presented at CSE Certified Sustainability Program Digital Version 11, 12 & 15 of June 2020

Participants at the Certified Sustainability Practitioner Program Digital Version welcomed Anna Zubets Anderson, Vice President – Senior Analyst at Moody’s Investors Service in New York.

 

As this program focuses on key challenges that professionals have to face in the field of Sustainability, Supply Chain, Corporate Responsibility, Sustainable Development, Circular Economy all in light of the new normal, Anna presented Moody’s views and strategy on sustainability.

 

During her presentation she noted that market interest around ESG and UN SDGs alignment is increasing globally. “There is a growing focus on SDGs but there is a gap as we are not investing enough money towards SDGs,” she said. With Moody’s vision to establish ESG assessment standards to meet analytical needs of the credit analysis teams and broader market.

Moody’s objective is to improve transparency using the four ESG analytical tools:

– ESG taxonomy: What is ESG?

– Heat maps: Is ESG material to credit quality?

– Assessments: How is a specific issuer exposed to ESG risks?

– Credit opinions: How has ESG affected an issuer’s credit rating?
