OUR CUSTOMERS
Through our products and research, we
give confidence to decision-makers across
financial markets worldwide. We are
harnessing the trust that we have built
for over 100 years to provide valuable
insights into ESG, of which DE&I is an
important component.
Creating Opportunities for
Racial Equity
Our DE&I initiatives encompass our entire value chain of
customers and institutions. That's why in 2021, we laid
the groundwork to transition the Moody's Multicultural
Customer Initiative (MMCI) into our Creating Opportunities
for Racial Equity (CORE) program. MMCI, and now CORE,
aim to develop partnerships, share expertise, invest capital
and utilize software and services to assist community
development financial institutions (CDFIs), minority
depository institutions (MDIs), diverse finance companies
and diverse asset managers.
