Navigating the Green Transition: Financing Sustainable Projects

There is now wide recognition that integrating sustainable projects into business strategy is essential for the green transition. However, what does this mean in reality? In this panel, we will explore the parameters of a sustainable project, how they are financed and what the contractual requirements are. We will delve into the aspects of sustainability considered in financing decisions and discuss how companies can use these insights to navigate regulatory headwinds.
