ESG Research Solutions for Issuers, their Bankers and other Corporate Advisors
Interaction between MSCI ESG Research and the companies and fixed income issuers we rate continues to expand at a rapid pace.
-
Issuers increasingly want to know how they are rated by MSCI ESG Research and how they compare to peers. Those with strong ratings are leveraging their ESG profile for corporate finance purposes, including bond offerings and ESG-linked loans.
Given that MSCI ESG Research does not offer consulting or advisory services to rated entities, we also work with a growing number of bank and non-bank advisors, including accounting firms, management consultants and investor relations firms, to help them help their own clients understand their ESG strengths and weaknesses.
At the same time, issuers and their advisors want to better understand and quantify the specific risks and opportunities presented by climate change.
