ESG Solutions
We help to empower market participants
to make better, more sustainable decisions.
Our solutions provide the tools to enable
our customers - including companies,
banks, insurers, governments, asset
managers and asset owners — to identify
and manage ESG risks and opportunities,
strengthen sustainability action plans and
communicate with their key stakeholders.
Our mission is to provide clear, traceable
and defensible intelligence that instills
confidence throughout our customers'
decision-making processes.
Over the past three years, ESG has been a strategic growth
driver for Moody's. ESG-related revenue in 2021 increased
36% year-over-year to $29 million, with $22 million in
stand-alone ESG revenue and $7 million from integrating
our ESG-related solutions into MIS and MA products. The
acquisition of RMS, a leading global provider of climate
and natural disaster risk modeling and analytics, further
demonstrates the strategic importance of ESG to Moody's
business. This acquisition builds on our strategy to invest
in companies focused on providing ESG data, research or
services for market participants, which began in 2019 with
our investments in V.E and Four Twenty Seven, Inc.
