      ESG is moving from the periphery to the mainstream, transforming the capital and financing market. In 2021 alone, financial resources invested in sustainable and ESG-oriented funds increased by 53 per cent worldwide to 2.7 trillion US dollars.

      Driven by the EU Green Deal and EU climate policy, Europe is at the forefront of the global transformation in the capital and financing market. Institutional investors are increasingly emphasising their desire to integrate the ESG performance of companies into their investment decisions. Many companies want to utilise this momentum to finance themselves sustainably. However, they are not familiar with the ESG-specific requirements and market standards.

      KPMG experts provide advice at this interface and ensure a customised ESG financing solution in the interests of the client.


      A successful IPO without taking ESG-specific requirements into account is difficult to imagine in today's world.
