“Interest in renewables is surging as ...environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues drive more corporate decisions leading to a record 24.7 GW of solar projects acquired globally in the second quarter of this year”

1H and Q2 Solar Funding and M&A Report
“The stakes of disclosure are rising…as both institutional and retail investment surges into assets tied to environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles. Sustainability related financing has tripled since 2015, with a tenfold increase in flows to ESG funds, an eight-fold increase in sustainable debt issuance and a doubling in the value of ESG-related deals by private equity and venture capital firms, according to a report by Generation Investment Management.”
– Utility Dive, August 2, 2021
As capital markets, investors, lenders and corporate off-takers accelerate their engagement with the challenges of global warming and other environmental threats, the development of formalized ESG (environmental, social and governance) principles has created great opportunities for renewable energy developers to increase company and project valuations, be more focused in their own M&A decisions, improve their own business processes and those of their suppliers, and obtain financing more easily and at more favorable rates.
However, the relatively recent development of multiple ESG standards and reporting formats, none of which were specifically developed for renewable energy developers, can make it difficult to know exactly how to align their business processes to maximize ESG performance and how to communicate their success at implementing these principles to critical outside partners and investors.
Infocast has organized this Master Class to provide the only in-depth industry-targeted discussion available on how renewable energy companies can navigate this uncertainty to both successfully manage for maximum ESG performance in their development activities and how they can communicate their ESG success via the most up-to-date and appropriate reporting protocols.
Please review our remarkable faculty and our curriculum outline for the very first such course to be aimed directly for the renewable energy industry, and reserve your place today.
Taught by active market participants who are engaging with ESG issues daily, this Master Class will permit renewable development firms to:
