The EU ESG Ratings Regulation now requires providers to answer to ESMA on methodology, governance, and conflicts of interest. For investors who rely on ratings to inform decisions, that raises a practical question: what should you expect from your service providers now?
Clarity AI’s Senior Legal Counsel Iulia Cospanaru will walk the audience through who the regulation affects and what’s changing and when.
Then we will open up the discussion with Clarity AI’s Chief Research Officer Patricia Pina and Chief Sustainability Officer Lorenzo Saa: does this push ratings toward standardization, and is that even the goal? Or is transparency into how methodologies are built the real advantage?
Join us to:
- Understand what the regulation requires and by when: who it covers and what’s changing in how ESG ratings are produced and overseen.
- Know what to ask your service providers: the questions that matter for due diligence on methodology, governance, and transparency under the new framework.
- Form a view on standardization vs. transparency: Leave with a clearer framework for judging whether convergence in ESG ratings is a regulatory success or a warning sign, and how to interpret divergence when evaluating providers.
