How Important is ESG to Capital Markets? A Corporate Perspective

Join us for the second in a three-part series of webcasts on how important ESG is in determining a company’s access to, and cost of, capital in equity and debt markets.

In our Sustainability Watch webcast earlier this year, executives from BNP Paribas, Moody’s, and State Street Global Advisors discussed the how investors’ ESG strategies are evolving, how ESG is fundamentally transforming equity markets, and how companies can lower their cost of debt through improved ESG performance.

Having heard from the suppliers of capital, the upcoming webcast will focus on the corporate perspective.

As an attendee of this webcast, you will learn:

  • The most effective ESG strategies and disclosures in improving a firm’s cost of capital
  • Specific approaches to attract ESG-focused equity investors – and the benefits and costs of doing so
  • The different types of debt instruments that companies are issuing that are tied to ESG – not just bonds focused on specific projects, but bonds tied to ESG performance metrics
  • The do’s and don’t of ESG-related debt financing
  • How to identify, and marshal a company’s resources to pursue, ESG-related financing initiatives
  • How to measure the impact of corporate ESG efforts on the cost of, and access to, capital

Who should attend: Corporate CEOs, Directors, CFOs, Treasurers, Chief Investor Relations Officers, Generals Counsel, Corporate Secretaries, Chief Sustainability Officers, and other senior executives.
