    Navigating the EU Green Bond Standard: Lessons from a Year in the Market

    One year into the application of the European Green Bond Standard (EU GBS), a clearer picture of the market is emerging—and with it, valuable insights for future issuers. Since notifying ESMA in December 2024, ISS-Corporate has acted as an external verifier for numerous EU Green Bonds, gaining firsthand experience with the regulatory framework and its practical implementation.

    In this interactive session, ISS-Corporate’s experts will share observations from the evolving EU GBS market, highlight common challenges and quick wins from verification reviews, and offer actionable recommendations for prospective issuers.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Market Observations: Explore trends in issuer types, geographic distribution, bond sizes, oversubscription patterns, and the use of Green Finance Frameworks vs. standalone factsheets.
    • Insights from External Verification: Learn about major obstacles encountered during reviews, frequently asked questions from issuers and underwriters, and practical solutions from our team.
    • Recommendations for Future Issuers: Get expert guidance on preparing documentation, aligning with EU GBS requirements, and engaging effectively with verifiers and regulators.

    Whether you’re preparing your first issuance or advising corporate clients, this webinar will equip you with insights to navigate the EU GBS with confidence.
