Linking Your FX Derivatives to Your ESG Goals

In a world where consumers and businesses increasingly care about sustainability, diversity and inclusion, and being a good citizen, more corporates are committing publicly to goals in these areas, and the ability to attain them requires participation at all levels of an organization. Barclays has introduced ESG linked FX as a way to expand the scope for corporate treasury to burnish their green credentials beyond financing transactions. Barclays partners with clients to find new ways to utilize the ESG framework with financial contracts that corporates are already executing.

Experts from Barclays will give an overview and answer questions at the August interim meeting of the two NeuGroups for FX risk management.

Foreign Exchange Peer Group is an invitation-only group for senior treasury professionals from across industries who have responsibility for FX risk management. The group follows NeuGroup’s time-tested approach for membership peer groups, including facilitated agenda development, benchmarking surveys, and professional networking. It was founded in 2002 with the assistance of a Fortune 500 FX manager looking for a better benchmarking experience.

Interim meetings are meant for members of the specified peer group. These meetings originated in response to Covid-19 to keep members connected virtually in between semi-annual peer group meetings. They have a headline topic or topics presented for discussion, followed by an open forum for additional peer sharing and learning on other items.
