What We Do

ESG Solutions is a specialist team of investment bankers who provide ESG-related advice and transaction support to advance sustainability solutions for our clients and enable access to ESG and sustainability focused capital across equity, debt and private markets. In Europe, the Middle East & Africa, ESG Solutions also co-ordinates J.P. Morgan’s investment banking coverage of clients in emerging green economy sectors.

It works with other investment banking teams across the CIB to identify and execute on ESG-related advisory and product opportunities. Since inception, ESG Solutions has helped clients access ESG-focused capital across equity, debt and private markets and has had a key role in several initial public offerings (IPOs).

ESG Solutions collaborates with other teams that offer ESG products and services. For example, they partner with J.P. Morgan’s Development Finance Institution in originating and structuring sustainable development finance transactions. The group also works with J.P. Morgan’s Center for Carbon Transition when transactions fall under the scope of our Carbon Compass methodology and require an assessment against J.P. Morgan’s 2030 Paris-aligned portfolio targets. In the financing space, where J.P. Morgan is a market-leading arranger of Green, Social, Sustainability and Sustainability-Linked Bonds, ESG Solutions collaborates closely with the ESG Debt Capital Markets team.
