Content of the study:MARKET OVERVIEW
1.1 Definition and presentation
ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance)finance has become increasingly essential over the years, as the IPCC's warnings to massively reduce greenhouse gas emissions to keep global warming below 1.5°C become ever more pressing.
Meanwhile, investor enthusiasm for ESG-labeled assets continues unabated, with the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) producing a report in 2022 highlighting the outperformance of ESG funds, particularly those with the most stringent requirements:
- The value of impact funds grew by 4% over the decade 2010-2020;
- Other ESG strategies saw their asset values increase by 2%;
- Strategies that simply exclude certain sectors grew by 1.7%.
The ESG finance market is governed by a set of standards, proposed by international associations or state institutions. At present, these regulations are not very restrictive, but they are set to become even more so with the gradual implementation of the European Taxonomy, and the impetus it gives to financial players worldwide.
This new trend in the financial markets means new opportunities for a number of players, who will have to deploy a variety of new activities:
- ESG risk management, which is already being taken up by consulting firms;
- ESG reporting, which European companies will gradually have to comply with;
- Green bond issuance, which will become increasingly stringent and a central issue for banks.
