Securing Development Financing through an ESG Lens | Panel Discussion 1 | Day 1

In order to access large-scale development capital, lending, and investment offerings, borrowers need to be able to link their business goals to impact objectives found in bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements such as climate, gender empowerment, and improved governance while using ESG metrics for evaluation and due diligence.

What does this mean for companies looking to finance expansion of their products and services to underserved communities or their green transformation? Panelists will share their countries’ vision of impact for Vietnam and information on available financing options, impact measurement tools, and success stories.
