On Tuesday June 23rd, 2015, we are co-convening a one-day workshop with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and ACTIAM to have a deep-dive discussion on clear criteria and standards for Green Bonds, with a particular focus on how such criteria could be developed.
The workshop will actively engage with like-minded organisations that share a genuine concern about the potentially adverse effects of ‘green washing’ and are committed to enhancing the green bond market’s integrity.
A broad range of stakeholders are invited to attend, including active market participants such as investors, issuers and underwriters as well as other organisations that have hands-on experience in using or developing criteria for green bonds such as rating agencies, second-opinion providers and assurance providers as well as environmental non-governmental organisations.
The workshop will be conducted under Chatham house rules to stimulate an open and honest discussion among a broad range of stakeholders. A background document, including the agenda of the workshop and relevant background documentation has been prepared for the workshop and is available upon request.
