How can treasury contribute to a firm’s wider sustainability objectives?
In this panel session we discuss the drivers behind ESG in treasury management and how by adopting the use of ESG linked funding and investment solutions, treasurers can support corporate sustainability goals.

From a funding perspective, we look at ESG-linked bonds, private placements, loans and revolving credit facilities as well the proliferation of new ESG aligned financial instruments.

From an investment perspective, we look at how improving transparency on corporate behaviours and supply chains translates into credit spreads on one side and on the other side, how investment managers can use this data to manage ESG risks.

We then round off with a look at the steps treasurers can take to ensure that these ESG funding solutions can be designed to minimise any reputational risks, and what new and innovative funding and investment solutions treasurers should look out for.
