Webinar: Social housing – ESG via the capital markets

Over the past two years we've seen interest in environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations explode in the social housing sector.

With the rise of social and sustainable bonds and sustainability linked loans housing providers have access to a raft of ESG related financial products which is bringing new investor interest to the sector. But does the sector need impact investment? What is driving funders and housing providers to start their sustainability journeys? How do you establish a sustainability reporting framework and why is data so important?

This webinar looked at accessing ESG via the capital markets and the move towards social and sustainable bonds.

Speakers included:

Paul Jeffries, Assistant Director of Treasury, Aster Group UK
Piers Williamson, Executive Director and Chief Executive, bLEND Funding PLC
Luke Cross, Director (London), Social
Chris Evans, Director, Newbridge Advisors LLP
Naomi Roper, Partner, Trowers & Hamlins

The second webinar in this series looked at the growth of sustainability linked loans and differing approaches of early adopters from across the UK. For more please click here.
