The impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues in financial markets will accelerate this year as the effect of government stimulus, decarbonisation policies and greater disclosure requirements overlap, says ratings agency Moody Investors Service. "As the global economy recovers from the coronavirus pandemic, ESG issues will assume greater importance in the actions of policymakers, regulators, investors and corporate decisionmakers. The increasing interaction of these issues will amplify their impact on credit quality, while the positive credit implications of being well positioned to adapt to ESG trends will become more apparent," says Moody's Investors Service senior VP James Leaton.
