Moody’s Analytics adds ESG assessment tool

Moody’s Analytics said Wednesday it has launched a new service that allows users to integrate environmental, social and governance factors into commercial underwriting and portfolio management activities.

Moody’s teamed with Chaucer Insurance Group PLC, a U.K.-based insurer and reinsurer, to develop ESG Insurance Underwriting Solution. The service combines data on public and private companies with an assessment tool to help identify relationships between ESG factors and financial risk metrics such as claims frequency and loss ratios.
