"AGM and Sustainable Finance Market Outlook"
Please join AFP Calgary and Barclays’ DCM, Green and Sustainable Capital Markets Team for a discussion on products and themes in the Sustainable Finance Market.
After a year of record setting ESG issuance volumes, and a strong start to 2021, this conversation is timely and helpful in starting to prepare businesses for the exciting future of this market. Barclays will highlight the drivers of continued momentum, 2021 sustainable finance outlook, and ongoing market innovation, as well as the suite of ESG debt financing products and their requirements. Following the presentation, Barclays will open the floor to Q&A to continue the discussion. Barclays is a leader in the Global ESG bond market and a committed driving force in its innovation and future.
