Description

Environmental, social, governance (ESG) principles have been present in many aspects for project development long before these principles found their way into the general corporate/banking world more recently. With governmental and international bodies enacting new, different policies across the globe, addressing 
ESG aspects properly has become a key element for a successful project and its financing. The session discusses the current trends and future outlook of ESG and its impact on structuring projects and their financing and the new requirements applicable to stakeholders involved in such projects.
