KBRA Releases an Environmental, Social and Governance Overview

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) releases its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) overview, which discusses how ESG issues may affect its credit analysis.

KBRA, which is a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment’s (PRI) Statement on ESG in Credit Ratings, supports greater clarity and transparency around ESG risks and is dedicated to promoting ESG in investment decisions. The overview provides detail on how ESG factors may affect KBRA’s credit analysis, although credit ratings are, ultimately, issued in accordance with relevant KBRA rating methodologies.

The main takeaways from this report include:

  • An overview of ESG risk
  • KBRA definitions for some ESG factors that may affect credit
  • How credit-relevant ESG factors are incorporated into KBRA methodologies

As climate change grows more extreme and social and governance issues continue to evolve with public opinion, KBRA recognizes the potential complexities in understanding ESG impacts on credit, particularly as ESG risks are typically interdependent and longer-term in nature. However, KBRA will continue to evaluate ESG trends and will be transparent about the credit relevancy of ESG factors, alongside all other factors that influence credit, in its rating reports.
