Green and Sustainable Bonds: opportunities and challenges

The financial markets are increasingly offering products designed to address non-financial factors, commonly referred to as ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance). The bond market has been a key player in this space, with instruments like green bonds, sustainability-linked bonds, social bonds, and transition bonds attracting significant investor attention.

In this podcast, Patrizia Canziani, a Senior Finance Professional, and Jan Job de Vries Robbé from FMO (Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank) dive deep into the growing popularity of green bonds and sustainability-linked debt instruments. They discuss the reasons behind their rise and the real impact these instruments are having on the bond market.

Recorded at the Florence School of Banking and Finance in Florence, Italy, in July 2022, this episode sets the stage for further learning through an executive training course on Green Bonds and the Sustainable Bond Market.

Established in January 2016, the Florence School of Banking and Finance (FBF) was designed as a European platform bringing together policy makers, practitioners and academics from the banking and finance sector to develop a common culture of regulation and supervision in the European Union. The School is evolving into a knowledge centre of excellence, rooted in European origins while maintaining a global perspective. It offers policy dialogue and training courses and produces research in banking and finance.

FBF is part of the Robert Schuman Centre (RSC), an inter-disciplinary research center at the heart of the European University Institute (EUI). The EUI is the leading institute in Europe dedicated to social sciences and humanities.
