　　Moody's Investors Service 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 channeling 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 GSSS financial instruments and/or financing frameworks meet market standards and their potential sustainability impact. Our role as an SPO provider is to support the integrity and clarity of a market that is becoming increasingly complex, covering a growing range of sectors and technologies.
