The transition to Net-Zero 2050 requires companies to make significant investments in adapting plants and business processes, thereby aligning their carbon footprint with their industry’s scientific targets. Businesses therefore need effective and efficient capital market access through which to finance the transition. The use of debt instruments such as Green Bonds is therefore a key opportunity to equip the enterprise with the financial resources it needs to address the transition and create long-term sustainable value.
With this in mind, the course aims to present participants with a broad overview of Green Bonds and how they can be put to the service of the enterprise transition to Net Zero 2050.
