NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Moody’s Corporation (NYSE: MCO) today launched its 2016 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report, detailing the impact of its corporate citizenship programs and environmental, social and governance (ESG) activities.

“Moody’s commitment to CSR reflects our belief in operating with integrity for the benefit of our shareholders, our customers and our employees, while giving back to the many communities around the world where we do business,” said Raymond McDaniel, President and CEO of Moody’s.

The seventh annual report, presented through an interactive website, details programs that merge business drivers with thoughtful corporate actions. Moody’s innovative MARQ™ product helps make small business lending more efficient by enabling borrowers to provide information electronically to lenders, while helping business owners go into the borrowing process with better information about their creditworthiness.

Moody’s Green Bond Assessment, introduced in 2016, reflects the company’s commitment to sustainability and provides a consistent, standardized and transparent way for market participants to evaluate a green bond on its ability to deliver on its environmental promise.

At the center of Moody’s community involvement is The Moody’s Foundation, which supports local communities around the world though philanthropic grants to community organizations and ongoing volunteer employee community service programs.
