MOODY’s Core Connect

Join Moody’s executives and strategic partners for a hybrid event about fueling economic growth for diverse businesses and underserved communities.

The event will kick off with an exciting leadership spotlight with John Hope Bryant, CEO of Operation Hope. The conversation will cover Operation Hope’s guiding principles and mission and explore John’s career journey and commitment to fostering financial empowerment in underserved communities.

Subsequently, Moody’s executives and industry professionals will engage in what we expect to be a thought-provoking panel discussion on transition finance and the path to net zero. During the panel, Moody’s executives and industry professionals will discuss the impact of transition risk on credit, the critical role of transition finance in mitigating against the impacts of climate change, and how the move toward a more sustainable, low-carbon future can help build growing and inclusive economies.

Moody’s CORE (Creating Opportunity for Responsible Equity) program aims to develop partnerships, share expertise, invest capital, and utilize solutions and services to assist diverse and underserved customers.
