Protecting our independence and integrity
Our independent assessment process relies on publicly available information. We operate with an internal firewall to separate any real or perceived commercial interests from our interactions with issuers. As such, our Issuer Communications team, which can be reached at esgissuercomm@msci.com, is our main point of contact for all issuers. Client-facing personnel are prohibited from commenting on, or attempting to influence, these processes in any way.
We take seriously our commitment to handling our issuers’ contact information with care, and we aim to make reasonable efforts to source this contact information from publicly available sources. Additionally, rated issuers can update their contacts via our online issuer portal and by reaching out to esgissuercomm@msci.com.
