The UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) released a new guide for investors, ESG Engagement for Fixed Income Investors: Managing Risks, Enhancing Returns.<\/em> The guide is the result of collaboration between the PRI\u2019s Bondholder Engagement Working Group<\/strong>, and Fixed Income experts in the field, which are featured in brief case studies in the guide. CBIS\u2019 Director of Catholic Responsible Investing, Tracey Rembert, serves as a member of the Bondholder Engagement Working Group, and contributed to the guide\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sustainability factors that we often focus on within our Catholic Responsible InvestingSM<\/sup> team can and do impact the credit worthiness of debt issuers, and they are beginning to be factored increasingly into Credit Rating Agencies\u2019 assessment of corporate debt,\u201d notes Rembert. \u201cThis guide is an introduction to why and how investors should be using their debtholder influence for impact and change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corporate bond engagement helps investors better manage credit risk, and more clearly understand the sustainability impacts of debt issuance. The guide features sections on investor collaboration; engagement trends among fixed income investors; and the timing of debt engagement pre- and post-issuance, among other topics.<\/p>\n
