The Rise of ESG in Derivatives
Derivatives linked to ESG-benchmarks or structured with ESG-linked baskets of stocks can provide ready means for investments linked to ESG parameters. Equally sustainability-linked corporate derivatives transfer the risk associated with an ESG investment to a financial intermediary in return for a pre-defined payment.
Discussion topics:
- The growth of ESG derivatives and how this trend is likely to impact the markets
- Solutions for ESG analytics
- Bloomberg's solutions for ESG - including data and scores
- ESG Benchmarks
