This is the second part of our conversation with Alex Griffiths, where we discuss ESG in Ratings.

Alex Griffiths is a Managing Director and Head of EMEA Corporate Ratings at Fitch Ratings. 

Fitch Ratings is a credit rating agency that rates the viability of investments relative to the likelihood of default. Fitch is one of the top three credit rating agencies internationally, along with Moody's and Standard & Poor's.

In the episode of today, expect to learn:

• What are ESG factors and why they are important in credit ratings?
• The challenges in incorporating ESG factors into credit ratings.
• How can Treasury professionals effectively contribute to the credit rating process?
• How does Fitch Ratings integrate ESG considerations into its credit rating process?

I really loved our conversation with Alex. He truly is passionate about his topic and extremely fast on answering even our intricate questions.
