The Rise of ESG in Derivatives

As the capital markets continue to increase focus on ESG-driven investing, it is only natural that we will witness increased use and development of ESG Derivatives. While the full scale adoption of derivatives referencing ESG scores or adopting ESG Benchmark Indices has not yet permeated the derivatives market at a large scale, this trend is certainly underway in the market as witnessed by quite a few high-profile ESG-themed derivatives deals since the beginning of this year, as also in the rise of ESG-linked listed options and futures

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
