Innovative Uses of ESG Ratings in Sustainable Finance and Beyond

Listen to the recording of our April 23, 2020 live panel discussion

Sustainalytics’ very own Jean-Claude Berthelot was joined by Laetitia Girolami-Boyer, Director of Sustainable Finance for BNP Paribas and Bernard Orban, Treasurer for Etex as they discussed the developments and popularity of Sustainability Linked Loans (SLL’s).

The panel covered everything from trends, demand, development and touched on benefits for Corporate Issuers and Corporate Investment Banks when it comes to Sustainability Linked Loans.

Lastly, the panel gave us insights on how Corporate Issuers and Banks can work together to help structure their own Sustainability Linked Loans and briefly discussed how Etex and BNP Paribas worked together on their SLL using the Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating as a measurement tool.
