Overview
Join the coordinators of the Sustainability-Linked Bonds (SLBs) working group and their guests for the second in a series of Sustainability-Linked Bonds Webinars taking place at 10:00 (BST) / 11:00 (CEST) on Thursday 22nd May 2025.
During this webinar panellists will explore and discuss the selection of relevant and material KPIs in relation to GHG emission reduction targets (encompassing scope 3)
The panel will aim to cover such topics as:
- How to practically engage suppliers and/or users to tackle upstream and downstream emissions
- The use of proxy targets to tackle scope 3 emissions (e.g. suppliers setting science-based targets, investment/development of low-carbon technologies
- How to make sure scope 3 targets are set so issuers have a relevant level of control on them (e.g. airports on flights emissions, shopping centres on customers’ trips)
- How to evaluate the "materiality, relevance and centrality" of chosen KPIs if not encompassing scope 3 in a sector where scope 3 represents the bulk of emissions
Moderated by Natixis (Laurie Chesné) and PIMCO (Samuel Mary)
Guests:
- Rob Zhang, Sustainable Debt Data Analyst, Climate Bonds Initiative
- Valentin Jahn, Deputy Director Research & Operations, Transition Pathway Initiative
- Maria del Mar Rojas, Engagement Manager, Europe, SBTi
