economic, social and environmental impact, to share their findings with others and to drive ongoing
improvements in each of these important areas of focus.”
“The planet is our home, and Moody’s minimizes its footprint by supporting recycling and energy-
efficiency programs. Outside Moody’s offices, the company encourages and supports eco-volunteerism.
