To discuss the proposed scores' details, our host Jeff Gitterman is joined by Swami Venkataraman, Senior Vice President in Moody’s Investors Service Environmental, Social, and Governance group.
Some of the question we will cover in this interview are:
Moody's ESG strategy, and what motivated you to propose these ESG scores?
How do these scores relate to the integration of ESG in credit ratings? Will ratings be changed based on these scores?
Moody's owns Vigeo Eiris, which also produces ESG scores. How will you differentiate between the two offerings? Is there even a need for two different scores?
Disclosure is a significant problem in the ESG space. Where will Moody's get the data needed to produce these scores?
How does Moody's expect investors to use these scores?
Will all sectors receive these ESG scores, and when can we expect to see them published?

Sheila, Antonella, and Isabelle join our host, Vince, literally from their vineyards and get down yes to the grape of what is truly going on in the sustainable wine movement by those that are absolutely the most passionate, as you will see in this beautiful interview.Sheila has the fantastic job of discovering wineries and olive oil producers, having Founding Vero almost two years ago, along with a professional background in the FinTech industries. She was interested in blockchain that led her to start Vero to curate and locate difficult to find wines and olive oils from small, sustainable producers worldwide.
"The Devine of the Plant Kingdom"
Isabelle is truly a global leader in the natural wine movement. Natural wine comes from grapes grown organically, then fermented into wine without adding ANYTHING, along without removing anything. It's 100% grape juice with a kick as it was designed thousands of years ago—the authenticity of wine at its core. The way the land is farmed is everything. That is what it means to be sustainable.
Antonella comes to us LIVE from, Fattoria La Malisoa, her vineyard in Tuscany in La Malisoa - sharing the absolute beauty of what it means to "living the dream" in wine. After graduating and working in Tuscany's resort, the environment was overwhelming in all the right ways capturing her there for longer than expected. Antonella then pursued her dream, aligning with her agriculture values with her vineyard in Tuscany, Italy, even though she doesn't have a heritage in the wine industry.
These three leaders in wine had a great time on this exclusive interview on FINTECH.TV, and we hope you will enjoy it just as much, learning how sustainable, natural wine should be part of your private selection.

Rachel and Lauren discuss her background beginning with her father, jolting her onto the world stage early, Brazil, and what she is currently doing on various initiatives to improve women's rights exponentially. Lauren and her team are making big moves from employment to increasing access to credit to growing women's access to land-ownership through education.The most crucial element - at least a significant pillar - is access to credit, treasury management, and building credit overtime for any entrepreneur. Especially true for women in emerging and developing markets globally that must align their business with the capital markets. Lauren recognized this in Abu Dhabi and is helping through her programs. The essential part of any entrepreneur's journey is who is there to help them when things get dark, obstacles occur, and how to overcome to become a better entrepreneur as studies from Harvard, BCG, and others have shown that women excel. As discussed with Rachel, she helps women understand how to build, grow, and develop networks.
