ESG Relevance Scores for Corporates

ESG risks generally have a low level of direct impact on credit ratings (less than 3%), and the impact is heavily asymmetric on the downside–as ratified in our initial round of ESG Relevance Scoring.

Ratings

Thinking of Being Rated?

Dedicated to providing value beyond the rating through independent and prospective credit opinions, we offer global perspectives shaped by strong local market experience and credit market expertise.
