Traditional ESG Providers: These include established entities such as credit-rating agencies that have long been involved in providing financial data and have integrated ESG factors into their traditional credit rating processes.
Role of Credit-Rating Agencies: They assess the creditworthiness of issuers, including sovereign, corporate, and municipal issuers, and increasingly incorporate ESG factors into their ratings to reflect potential risks and opportunities.
Nontraditional Providers: These include newer, often technology-driven firms focusing solely on ESG data, sometimes using alternative data sources and innovative methodologies.
CFA ESG Investing References:
The CFA Institute’s materials on ESG integration recognize credit-rating agencies as traditional ESG data providers because they have expanded their analysis to include ESG factors alongside traditional financial metrics.
