6th Annual 50 Shades of Green: Ascertaining new trends in sustainable capital markets

Where are we headed on the sustainable capital markets journey? What new trends are taking shape? What is the latest thinking around how to fast-track the allocation of private capital to destinations that will super-charge decarbonisation and accelerate transition? Where are the bottlenecks and how can they be unblocked?

Events Radar’s 50 Shades of Green event is back. Since inception, the event has explored without fear or favour the evolution of ESG capital markets alongside political and regulatory developments and other market drivers. Now in its 6th year, the event will once again convene leading market participants to talk about how the market is faring and how it can do a better job of getting us closer to hitting net-zero targets.

Speakers confirmed:

  • Marianne Zangerl, Head of ESG, Fixed Income, abrdn
  • Justine Leigh-Bell, Executive Director, Anthropocene Fixed-Income Institute
  • Agnes Gourc, Head of Sustainable Capital Markets, DCM Structuring & Solutions, BNP Paribas
  • Annabel Ross, Sustainable Capital Markets, Lloyds Banking Group
  • Tara Bajaria, Sustainable Financing, Debt Capital Markets, MUFG

Agenda

  1. Review of first-half activity across ESG labelled bond and loan markets.
  2. Greenium finally de-bunked?
  3. Will geopolitical flashpoints today always eclipse sustainable solutions for tomorrow?
  4. How have companies' transition strategies and roadmaps evolved in the light of tighter corporate and investor regulatory disclosure requirements? Are ESG labels becoming yesterday’s solution?
  5. Transition bonds from hard-to-abate sectors are where private capital can make the biggest contribution to decarbonisation. What’s the formula to unlocking this asset class? Are overly restrictive taxonomies deflecting private capital?
  6. SLB 2.0: will more ambitious frameworks deal adequately with criticism of poor target-setting? Will issuance resume? If bonds that trigger coupon step-ups outperform bonds that don’t have this feature, doesn't that crystallise perverse incentives?
  7. Look-ahead to the second half of 2024 and beyond.

Moderated once again by Keith Mullin, the event will be conducted as an interactive panel discussion.
