ESG ratings: sustainability ratings move forward in tandem with credit ratings
Two analysts, one from a credit agency and another from a sustainability rating agency, analyze, together with Garrigues, the keys to assessing ESG factors at companies. A good ESG rating can determine whether a company is financially stable or an investment is safe. For that reason, it is vital to know what exactly ESG ratings are and how they relate to traditional credit risk ratings.
This was the goal of a new edition of The Garrigues Sustainable Dialogs, entitled What ESG ratings are and their relation to credit ratings. The talk, moderated by Gonzalo García-Fuertes, partner in Garrigues’ Corporate/Commercial Department, was with two experts in the subject: María Martín de Vidales, analyst at Morningstar Sustainalytics, and Marcos Álvarez, analyst at DBRS Morningstar.
