OIL2112. Moody’s ESG Scores and the Impact of ESG Risks on Oil and Gas Company Credit Ratings

Environmental, Social and Governance considerations have moved to the forefront of investor focus. With sustainability and climate change concerns driving policy changes and investor preferences towards advancing energy transition, oil and gas companies have high risk exposures to environmental and social factors, including carbon transition, waste and pollution and responsible production. Moody’s has introduced ESG scores along with credit impact scores to explain how ESG risks impact credit ratings. This session will cover Moody’s approach to assessing environmental and social risk exposure by industry sector and individual company ESG and Credit Impact scores.

Learning Objectives:

• Determine your understanding of ESG risk exposures for oil and gas companies
• Recognize how Moody's scores ESG risks and how those risks are incorporated into company credit ratings
