Background

As there is a growing demand from investors and regulatory agencies for granular ESG data, the importance of detailed ESG reporting at the financial instrument level cannot be overstated. Financial institutions need the knowledge and tools necessary to enhance their ESG reporting practices, ensuring they meet regulatory requirements, satisfy investor demands, and contribute to a more sustainable future. 

In response to this critical need, the Working Group on Sustainability Information Disclosure (WG2) of the Green Investment Principles (GIP) for the Belt and Road will host an event on July 11th titled “Navigate the Instrument-level Sustainability Reporting” that focuses on the growing significance of ESG financial instrument-level reporting, particularly concerning green bonds, supply chain management, and KPI-linked products. The event will also feature experts who will explain the importance of post-transaction reporting, external review, and best practices.

Co-chaired by Credit Agricole-CIB and HSBC, and with support from EY, the GIP WG2 focuses on sustainability disclosure at all levels. 

English and Chinese simultaneous translation will be provided for the event. If you are interested in the seminar, please scan the QR code below to register. Please note that event details will be shared upon successful registration.

We sincerely anticipate your participation.
