Sustainability is attracting money. Issuers need to avoid disappointing investors and killing the flow: issuers should make sure that they follow ICMA GSS Principles and/or the Climate Bond Initiative's prescriptions. Use of Proceeds, Management of Proceedings, Periodic and Annual Reporting are going to be critical. UN SDGs, SBTi / other KPIs achieved are going to extremely important. #sustainablefinance #greenbonds #greenfinance #icma #sbti #unsdg #unsdgs #esginvesting #esg #esgtechpro #stratadigm

Upcoming session on Tuesday, 21st February 2024 | Finance and Investment in Energy Conference   From Greenwashing to Green Valuation: Standardising ESG Reporting In recent years, interest in ESG has grown significantly, from a minor consideration to the mainstream, with investors increasingly realising that ESG principles effect a company's long-term success and market value. Following accusations of greenwashing, major petroleum and energy corporations are now incorporating ESG principles into their decision-making processes, not only in the context of risk mitigation, but also for aligning strategic business objectives with sustainability to remain competitive. However, as there is no universal framework for providing ESG data, financial institutions face considerable challenges in analysing organisations' sustainability performance. ESG data standardisation is crucial for financial institutions to successfully analyse and compare firms' and promote transparency in ESG reporting. Attendee Insights: Panellists will discuss the impact of ESG in the current energy landscape and explore the significance of ESG standardisation to enable a more sustainable future. SPEAKERS: Moez Miaoui, Senior Corporate Governance Officer, IFC - International Finance Corporation Nkechukwuaga Amangbo, Vice President Liquidity Commodities, Global Markets, Moneda Invest mohamed Shaker ABOUELEZ, Chief Corporate and Structured Finance Officer, Banque du Caire Mounia Attiga, Chair of North Africa, Lean In Network | Equity & Sustainability MODERATOR: Mucha Hazel Nyandoro, Presenter, EGYPES 2024 EGYPES Finance and Investment in Energy Conference gathers energy leaders, sustainable finance, and climate experts to assess economic uncertainties.

#Mainstreaming #green #finance: #Sustainable #finance would grow faster if integrated into existing #green #bond and #municipal #bond markets, which focus on long-term #infrastructure #financing. In the future, all municipal bonds will be "green" since investors will avoid non-green bonds. Currently, #China leads in the green bond market, but the western media provides little coverage. From now on, #green #bonds should be mainstreamed as daily front page news, not periodic #COP-related news
