Details
The total value of ESG-compliant assets is expected to reach USD 53 trillion by 2025—a third of total assets under management. From the initial interest in sustainable investing, which focused on public equity markets, an ESG-labeled fixed income market of increasing maturity has evolved. More and more issuers and investors are looking closely at sustainable debt, and there have been substantial flows into sustainable investment–grade and high-yield strategies recently. This rapid growth in the market for sustainable debt raises several questions: Why could sustainable debt be the key financial instrument for improving firms' sustainability? How has the market for sustainable debt evolved and where is it now? What are the effects of sustainable debt on the financial and environmental performance of issuing firms? How do we prevent greenwashing? In what ways can the market standardize ESG products and improve transparency? Who pays for improvements in sustainability performance, issuers or investors?
