Description

MIS Second Party Opinion team is hiring

Sustainable finance has a key role to play in the world's transition to a low-carbon and sustainable economy by channelling financing into investments with clear environmental/social benefits.

Long-term growth potential for sustainable finance is strong: Moody's forecasts issuance of green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked (GSSS) bonds to total $950 billion in 2023.

In turn, market participants are increasingly demanding accurate assessments detailing the sustainability credentials of an organization's bond and loan issuance.

Our Second Party Opinions (SPOs) bring clarity on whether green bonds, social bonds and sustainability-linked bonds meet market standards and their potential sustainability impact.

Our role as SPO providers is to support the integrity and transparency of the market that it is becoming increasingly complex, covering a growing range of sectors and technologies.

We are a dynamic, multicultural team looking for young professionals sharing our engagement to promote sustainable finance and eager to take on the challenges that the transition to a sustainable, resilient and low-carbon economy represent.
