Kestrel ESG / Kestrel Verifiers

For more than 20 years Kestrel has been at the forefront of public finance − helping state and local governments access capital for sustainable infrastructure. At Kestrel, the purpose of our work is to identify environmental, climate, and social benefits inherent in financed activities in order to help investors make informed decisions. Kestrel ESG Data supports sustainable finance with meaningful ESG data. Our data is independently developed—encompassing principles of sustainability, sector-specific best practices, and rigorous quality control. Kestrel Verifiers is the market leader for verified green, social, and sustainability municipal bonds. As Approved Verifiers accredited by the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI), and as active reviewers of ICMA principles for Green, Social and Sustainability Bonds and loans, we evaluate corporate and municipal bonds in all asset classes worldwide for conformance with international green and social bond standards. Kestrel ESG is a Women's Business Enterprise.
