In this episode of S&C’s Critical Insights podcast series, Inosi Nyatta, co-head of S&C’s global Project Development & Finance practice, and associate Sarah Mishkin discuss the Equator Principles, one of the most widely adopted environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards in the financial sector. Inosi and Sarah provide an overview of Equator Principles 4, released October 1, 2020.
Inosi and Sarah also explore key changes arising under the updated Equator Principles, as the focus on ESG considerations grows. Finally, they discuss how project sponsors and developers might adapt to the updated Equator Principles, as more stringent environmental and social responsibility requirements now apply to a wider range of projects and financing transactions.
