Principles behind Credit Ratings

May 20, 2025

EthiFinance Ratings has just published a ‘principles behind credit ratings’ document that presents the main credit principles that support methodology development, and by extension credit ratings assigned by EthiFinance Ratings through the course of its business.

This document is not a methodology per se but can be used by the analysts to assign credit ratings in the absence of a dedicated methodology.

Welcome to Europe’s Leading Independent Rating Agency!

EthiFinance and ESG Book unite to form one of Europe’s largest independent credit & sustainability rating agencies.

The new group combines ESG & credit ratings, robust public and private datasets, advanced modelling capabilities, in‑depth global ESG data, and a state‑of‑the‑art tech platform.

Stay tuned for further updates in September, following the summer break!
