Forskere: ESG-lånemarked vokser markant

ESG-lånemarked vokser markant, det modnes stille og roligt og vil på sigt få positive ESG effekter: Forskerne bag analysen skriver, at ” We find that ESG-linked loans are opaque and vary widely in the extent of their contractual disclosures. Consistent with greenwashing, borrowers with low quality disclosures about ESG contract features experience deterioration in ESG scores after loan issuance. Borrowers with high quality disclosures continue to maintain good ESG profiles and stock markets react positively to such loan announcements. Overall, our results indicate market vigilance against potential greenwashing and suggest that as the market matures, the ESG loan market has potential to make a positive impact on corporate ESG performance.”
