This Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) report is a follow-up to a research publication on KBRA’s general approach to incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in our credit rating process across corporate, financial, and government (CFG) ratings, which we describe as ESG Management. While our previous publication provided a broad overview of KBRA’s ESG Management approach (summarized below), this research report focuses on the potential influence of ESG topics on KBRA’s analysis of midstream energy companies. It is important to note that this research is not a methodology. KBRA’s cross-sector ESG methodology can be found here.
