Green finance is acutely needed to support the global economy’s transition to a more sustainable low-carbon future. In recent years, the market has seen a sharp growth in green instruments. Global green bond market exceeded US$247.7 billion in the first six months this year, continuing the growth momentum from 2021. As the market has expanded, authorities around the world have also become more committed to the targets of net-zero and decarbonisation by accelerating the development of green finance.
While new products are coming into the market rapidly, “green finance” is still a new area for many issuers and investors. What instruments are available in the market? What’s the process to issue green bonds and loans? How to compare different “green standards”? How to avoid green-washing and mitigate risks? These are the questions we often hear.
As green finance becomes a major consideration for the economy, how can it help businesses improve their social impact and long-term growth? Sustainable Fitch, joined by the honourable speakers from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), will bring you the latest market insights on the most pressing issues around green finance.
Some of the topics we will look into include:
• What is the overall environment for green bond issuance for companies?
• What should be taken into consideration when one chooses a market for green issuance?
• What can Hong Kong as a market provide for green issuance and investments?
• How to mitigate risks by avoiding the “green-washing”?
• How to compare different industry standards to optimise the return on investment?
• How does the ESG consideration impact company’s financials, governance, and strategy?
• What are the best practices in green issuance? A real case study.
