Goals / Remit
Beyond Ratings is an independent financial services provider dedicated to systematically integrating ESG and climate factors into financial analyses. Experts in country/sovereign risk, we provide coherent metrics for all asset classes.
Since our creation in 2014, Beyond Ratings offers innovative services for the financial sector, aimed at increasing the role of finance in the transition of economies towards sustainable trajectories. This expertise is today integrated by more than thirty international public and private financial institutions (investment banks, pension funds, insurance companies, asset management companies, infrastructure funds, development banks, commercial banks) across Europe and North America.
In March, 2018, Beyond Ratings announced the creation of a new credit rating agency which will be the first to systematically integrate ESG into its ratings & to be in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. The company expects to receive a response from ESMA regarding its application for accreditation in March 2019Main EU files targeted
