The rise in ESG investing has led to the new challenges for both asset owners and asset managers. With third party opinions, esg ratings, changing regulatory environment, issues with data reliability and comparability as well as increasing pressure from media, investing in the world of ESG is not as simply as just buying a green bond. In this presentation, we will look at the growth of the ESG bond markets, and present several case studies to help illustrate the some of the complex issues that managers face and how active management helps reduce the risk of greenwashing allegations.

Workshop Objectives: The presentation covers the European macro landscape, growth in the green bond market, issuer assessments, greenwashing risks, and Franklin Templeton’s European fixed income strategies, emphasizing our sustainable investment approach.
