Abstrakt
Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ocena, czy posiadanie przez emitentów instrumentów dłużnych ESG oceny zdolności kredytowej wydanej przez więcej niż jedną agencję ratingową wpływa na liczbę i średnią kwotę emisji. Badania empiryczne przeprowadzono metodą obserwacji oraz analizy dokumentów źródłowych. W analizowanym okresie 53,38% emitentów otrzymało oceny wirygodności kredytowej przynajmniej od jednej agencji ratingowej, jak S&P, Moody’s i Fitch. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań wskazują, że na liczbę instrumentów dłużnych ESG oraz średnią kwotę emisji miała wpływ liczba ratingów nadanych emitentowi. Baza danych zebrana z Refinitiv Eikon za okres od 2012 do 2021 roku pozwala stwierdzić, że wystarczą dwie oceny zdolności kredytowej. Wnioski z tego badania można wykorzystać w procesie pozyskiwania finansowania na projekty ESG.
