S&P Global Ratings publish request for comments on ESG principles in credit ratings

S&P Global Ratings has published a request for comments on its proposed methodology articulating the principles applied to incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) credit factors into its credit ratings analysis.

The intent of the proposed methodology is to enhance the transparency of how ESG factors can influence creditworthiness, and the criteria would apply to ratings on all issuers and issues where it is believed that ESG credit factors may be relevant.

The deadline for responses is 17 June 2021.
