Credit rating agencies and environmental, social and governance considerations:a long road ahead

Abstract

Reflects on the justifications for the US credit rating agencies' commitment to the "Principles for Responsible Investment" initiative, which takes account of social, environmental and governance issues in their ratings. Examines key aims of the initiative, and suggests why the large ratings agencies, Moody's, Standard and Poor, and Dagong, may not be fully committed to its implementation. Anticipates the likely impact of the initiative.
