Sustainable Finance courses
The transition to a sustainable global economy requires scaling up the financing of investments that provide environmental and social benefits. The bond markets through Green, Social and Sustainability Bonds as well as Sustainability-Linked Bonds can play an essential role in attracting private capital to finance these global needs.
ICMA serves as Secretariat of the Green Bond Principles (GBP), the Social Bond Principles (SBP), the Sustainability Bond Guidelines (SBG) and the Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles (SLBP) – principles that have become the leading framework globally for issuance of green, social and sustainability bonds.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the conduct regulator for around 50,000 financial services firms and financial markets in the UK. The FCA have assessed ICMA in accordance with their standards set out in TC App 5.1 and have determined that ICMA can offer qualifications as an FCA-approved qualification provider.
This bespoke programme has been designed to provide new market participants with a comprehensive understanding of how sustainable debt instruments can be used to finance environmentally sound and sustainable projects that foster a net-zero emissions economy, protect the environment and support projects with positive social outcomes.
