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.

02Corporates Navigator

Navigator Interactive

Ratings Navigator is a visual overview of the key quantitative and qualitative factors Fitch analyzes to arrive at an entity’s credit rating. Power your rating simulations for Corporates with the new Navigator Interactive—a graphical web-based tool, using the same observations underlying Fitch’s own Navigator snapshots. Fitch Ratings Corporates Credit Research subscribers can access it here.
