LONDON-Tuesday 15 September 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS
WIRE) -- Moody’s Corporation (NYSE: MCO) announced today the formation
of an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Solutions Group to
serve the growing global demand for ESG insights. The group leverages
Moody’s data and expertise across ESG, climate risk, and sustainable
finance, and aligns with Moody's Investors Service (MIS) and Moody's
Analytics (MA) to deliver a comprehensive, integrated suite of ESG
customer solutions.
The ESG Solutions Group develops tools and
analytics that identify, quantify, and report on the impact of
ESG-related risks and opportunities. Moody’s ESG capabilities expanded
following its investments in Vigeo Eiris (VE), a global pioneer in ESG
assessments, data and tools, and sustainable finance, and Four Twenty
Seven, a leader in climate risk analysis, in 2019. ESG and climate risk
considerations are already integrated into credit ratings and research
offered by Moody’s Investors Service, and will be integrated into a
range of Moody’s Analytics risk management solutions, research, data and
analytics platforms.
“Moody’s ESG Solutions Group brings
together capabilities from across the company to help market
participants advance strategic resilience, responsible capitalism, and
the greening of the economy by identifying risks and opportunities and
providing meaningful performance measurements and insights,” said Rob
Fauber, Moody’s Chief Operating Officer.
The ESG Solutions Group
is led by Andrea Blackman, who has over 30 years of experience in
harnessing financial and technology innovation in leadership roles with
banks, asset managers, and financial technology vendors. She previously
managed Moody’s CreditView, growing it into the leading global research,
data, and analytics platform for credit market professionals.
Including its affiliates, Moody’s ESG-related offerings now include:
5,000+ company ESG assessments
Controversy screening for 7,900 companies
1 million climate risk scores
250+ sustainable bond and loan reviews
70+ ESG specialty indices
Credit ratings that integrate ESG risk considerations
Risk management solutions integrating ESG and climate risk factors
VE
and Four Twenty Seven will continue to offer market-leading stand-alone
ESG and climate risk solutions given strong demand for their innovative
products. VE recently launched enhanced Second Party Opinions for
sustainability bonds that integrate aspects of the EU Taxonomy and Green
Bond standard. Four Twenty Seven recently announced the addition of
wildfire risk to their on-demand Real Asset Scoring Application for a
property or facility’s projected exposure to climate change effects.
