Beyond Ratings Registered as Credit Rating Agency

- Beyond Ratings is a privately-owned financial services firm that specializes in ESG (environmental, social, and governance) analysis.  ESMA is the single direct supervisor of credit rating agencies (CRAs) in Europe.  Its mandate stems from EU CRA regulation, which ensures a common framework and minimum quality standards for credit ratings issued in the European Union. "We believe ESMA accreditation validates our central proposition that ESG analysis is essential to evaluate all manner of risks, including credit risks of sovereigns, sub sovereigns, and development banks," said Rodolphe Bocquet, CEO and co-founder of Beyond Ratings. "ESMA registration has been an objective since the firm's founding in 2014 and will enable us to expand our ESG platform for positive finance." Elie Hériard-Dubreuil, Managing Director who oversaw the ESMA application, comments: "We believe that our ratings will enable investors to consider a broader set of risk factors. We maintain that investors who ignore ESG do so at their peril."
