ESG has played a vital part in the debt world for some years, but whilst debt increasingly becomes a primal part of investment decisions, particularly in today’s environment, the world of ESG in debt has perhaps taken a slight back foot. As time has gone on and the markets have moved, this webinar is focusing on navigating how the industry views ESG now, particularly within the real estate financing space and whether this is a time to be pivoting our strategies to a more “commercial” ESG approach in order for Lenders to support their Sponsors on decision making for their assets.
Key themes include:
- What ESG means in today’s world?
- Practical approaches vs. nice-to-haves and extensive reporting requirements.
- How ESG is embedded into valuation reports?
- Are we overthinking ESG? Should we be focusing on the underlying asset fundamentals that ingrain ESG as a part of the process rather than carving ESG out?
- Older stock with potential stranding risks: how are these assets viewed?
- How can Lenders support their Sponsors in transition financing?
