Public authorities, representatives of financial institutions and important Brazilian companies meet in London this Thursday, the 8th, for the Investor Roadshow for Brazil's New Economy, promoted by the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI), with the aim of boosting the potential for low-carbon investments in the Brazilian economy.
Throughout the program, green bond pipelines in the agriculture, clean energy, and pulp and paper sectors will be presented. Representatives from BNDES, CPFL Renováveis, Ecoagro, and Suzano are among the confirmed participants.
"We are taking another step toward consolidating a solid foundation for sustainable finance in Brazil. With this roadshow, the country has a unique opportunity to leverage external capital flows to support its transition to a low-carbon economy," says Justine Leigh-Bell, Director of Market Development at the Climate Bonds Initiative.
"We have increasingly dedicated our efforts to participating in the Brazilian green bond market, always in partnership with leading international entities in the segment. We are challenged to create the right conditions for agribusiness companies to raise funds for projects with positive environmental impact, compatible with our current environmental reality," adds Milton Menten, CEO of Ecoagro (Securitization).
A ceremony at the London Stock Exchange will mark the start of the roadshow. The full agenda is available at website of the CBI.
