To address some of the disconnects between investors and CRAs that emerged at the start of the initiative, the PRI organised roundtables across the globe aimed at credit risk analysts, fixed income portfolio managers and strategists (ESG analysts were welcome if accompanying their colleagues).
CRA representatives participated to explain how they incorporate ESG factors in their credit ratings and answered questions.
