Credit rating agencies in managing climate risk

Rating agencies play an important role in providing insights into the financial risk of organisations around the world. Their ratings can have an impact on the cost of capital associated with the equity and debt issuances of our financial services sector. In late-2021, representatives from S&P Global were invited to present to the Actuaries Institute’s Climate Risk Working Group to advise how S&P look at climate risk in credit ratings, and how S&P validate climate change scenario analysis and TCFD reporting.

Career

Thinking outside the box (ticking)

As professionals, we are regularly required to ‘sign off’ on something. This may be in the context of our role in an organisation, or it may be in an individual capacity. In either situation, we can all appreciate the temptation to view the sign off as routine and fail to apply much thought to the process. As we start to navigate our way into the new year, this may be a good time to reflect on the risks associated with this mentality and commit to an elevated mindset in 2022.
