In 9fin’s first ESG Educational we guide readers through how to effectively assess a company’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This piece assumes some prior knowledge (a primer for those new to ESG is forthcoming).

We cover the regulatory outlook for emissions disclosure, the key points surrounding how companies disclose, and some of the common pitfalls we have come across when assessing GHG emissions. In our Red Flag Review Checklist at the end, we provide specific examples and insights gleaned from the 9fin ESG team’s experience covering the European high yield debt market.
