Credit ratings - ESG - Fitch Ratings.

(ESG.RS)

ESG Relevance Scores - issued by Fitch Ratings - identify the relevance and materiality of environmental, social and governance elements to credit rating decisions.


The highest ESG.RS score is 5.

This indicates that a factor is unambiguously causing a change to a current rating level.


The lowest ESG.RS score is 1.

A score of 1 means a factor is currently irrelevant - both to the issuer and the sector - from a credit perspective.
