Fighting climate change

Moody's is committed to effective stewardship of the environment and has taken significant steps towards reducing its environmental impact. The company has set a goal to achieve net-zero emissions across its operations and value chain by 2040. This commitment is demonstrated through its decarbonization plan, which outlines tangible strategies for realizing its climate ambitions, including the procurement of 100% renewable electricity in the Company's office spaces and optimizing efficiencies in its operations through its hybrid work program. In addition, Moody's offers products and services that help other organizations and the investor community better understand the links between sustainability considerations and the global markets. For instance, the ESG Score Predictor provides estimates of environmental, social, governance, carbon emissions footprint, transition and physical risk management scores for any company. This helps organizations to achieve full portfolio risk assessment and supports them in their journey towards environmental sustainability. Furthermore, Moody's influences its staff, suppliers, customers, and communities to support environmental protection and improvement. The company advances its commitment to sustainability by considering ESG factors in its operations, value chain, products, and services. Moody's efforts to promote sustainability-related thought leadership, assessments, and data to market participants involve adhering to globally recognized standards including the GRI, SASB, and TCFD recommendations.

Covid-19 recovery

Moody's has been proactive in supporting communities, businesses, and individuals in managing and recovering from the impacts of COVID-19. We have adapted our lending solutions to help lenders make sense of government assistance programs such as the Main Street Lending Program, the Paycheck Protection Program, and Loan Forgiveness so they can effectively provide capital to small businesses while mitigating risk. This has helped create employment and return-to-work opportunities, particularly in high-growth sectors. We have also provided banks with a secure way to invite and receive digital documents for loan forgiveness, for small business owners who have been hard hit by the pandemic. This supports people and communities, especially those worst affected or shielding, to manage and recover from the impacts of COVID-19. In terms of supporting organizations and businesses, Moody's Analytics RiskCalc Small Business score helps lenders and credit analysts improve the credit risk assessment of their small business portfolio 1. This supports businesses in managing and recovering from the impacts of COVID-19, including where new ways of working are needed to deliver services. Regarding the support of physical and mental health of people affected by COVID-19, while the research does not provide specific initiatives, Moody's commitment to employee well-being and its robust talent management framework suggests a supportive environment for its employees. Finally, in improving workplace conditions that support the COVID-19 recovery effort, Moody's has approved the 2022 - 2023 Geolocation Restructuring Program, which includes the rationalization and exit of certain leased office spaces and a reduction in staff, including the relocation of certain job functions. This supports effective social distancing, remote working, and sustainable travel solutions.
