''Credit ratings - ESG - Fitch Ratings.''


In broad terms, 'balance sheet insolvent' describes the situation where an entity's liabilities exceed its assets, usually as a result of accumulated losses.
Climate Vulnerability Scores - issued by Fitch Ratings - quantify the relative vulnerability of rated entities to ESG stress.


The balance sheet insolvent entity has net liabilities, and negative equity.
The stress scenarios used in scoring align with the ''Inevitable Policy Response'' to ESG stress developed by the ''Principles for Responsible Investment''.




Balance sheet insolvency is contrasted with 'cash flow insolvency', in which an entity does not have enough sources of liquidity to pay its immediate liabilities.
