Proposal for Transparency in ESG
During climate week, Moody’s Investors Service published a request for comment to the market on proposed ESG scores for all rated issuers. 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?
TheIMPACT focuses on ESG, Impact Investing, and advancing the 17 United Nations-supported Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Transformative Investment in Climate Smart Agriculture
In partnership with the Climate Group and FINTECH.TV, The Nest Summit is an official event of Climate Week NYC, dedicated to advancing sustainability in the US by convening the organizations, visionary researchers, and influential policymakers driving climate action and leading the way to a cleaner and safer environment.Join the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers in Action and World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) for a panel on transformative investment in climate-smart agriculture. U.S. agriculture has the opportunity to significantly drawdown atmospheric carbon and the potential to be the first ‘carbon positive’ sector in the U.S. economy. However, farmers and ranchers can’t and shouldn’t do it alone. They and rural communities should gain economically from the improvements made to create healthier soil, conserve water, and protect nature. US food and agriculture companies have an opportunity to move toward decarbonizing their businesses while unlocking benefits to their top and bottom lines, all while helping improve human equity and environmental sustainability across their value chains. And, investors have much to gain from owning companies that manage risk and innovate to drive sustainable practices across their portfolios.
