ESG: Calculating Carbon Emissions for Financiers and Investor Assessment and Reporting
Holland & Knight, in association with the University of Miami School of Law, kicked off a three-part series to take an in-depth look at the core features of green financing, and provide analysis of its regulation and its far-reaching implications. The first session focuses on the foundational issues of data, reporting and calculation, which are the undercarriage for the environmental aspects of Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG).
Presentations in this webinar examine a variety of issues and topics from a number of perspectives including aviation, shipping, power generation and real estate. Additionally, panelists from the Aviation Working Group (AWG) demonstrate their newly developed carbon calculator. The tool calculates the emissions of aircraft and fleet portfolios, which will help ESG investors assess and report in connection with aviation financing and leasing transactions.
