ESG Ratings and Cost of Capital

Cost of capital was a key piece of information in the decision-making process for companies raising funds in debt and equity markets, as well as for the providers of these forms of capital.

Jakub Malich and Anett Husi explored the links between a company’s resilience to financially material sustainability-related risks and its cost of capital. They discussed whether significant rating changes pointed toward potential future changes in the cost of capital and what sustainability-related issues were the most relevant for the cost of capital in different industries.
