ESG Board Advisory Checklist
This is Tactical Tuesday: a short form conversation with subject matter experts designed to give you practical tools, tips, and advice for building your solar business or career.
Today’s topic is Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), and to give us the ins and outs of this hot topic we have one of the top guests we’ve had on the show: Mona Dajani, Global Co-Head of Energy, Infrastructure, Mobility, Renewables & Water at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, an international law firm with a particular focus on the technology & media, energy, financial services, and real estate & construction sectors.
If you're unfamiliar with ESG, then listen to this episode coming directly from a recent checklist that Pillsbury, the firm for whom Mona heads the renewable energy practice, created as a tantalizing tidbit to craft your own ESG strategy, as institutional shareholders invest record amounts in environmental, social and governance.
ESG conscious funds and companies, boards of directors are looking for ways that companies can design and implement a business strategy that produces a sustainable future and remain relevant in a world where climate change, social injustice, pandemics, disease prevention, and wellness are the new normal.
Mona focuses her global practice on project finance, corporate finance, mergers & acquisitions, portfolio acquisitions, tax equity, construction, and/or restructuring for government and private clients involving energy and infrastructure projects.
She has substantial experience with respect to syndicated loan and debt capital markets transactions, specialized structured financings, Rule 144A bond financings, syndicated commercial bank debt, commercial paper programs, export credit agencies, and other government-guaranteed financing and risk insurance programs; and arranging capital for new and established energy and infrastructure companies.
Mona represents renewable energy companies, developers, investors, lenders, and contractors in a wide range of renewable projects throughout the U.S. with project values ranging from $20 million to over $100 billion in value.
She closed more than 75 wind-power and over 20 solar-power project financings, including a 1,550-megawatt power purchase agreement by Southern California Edison, the largest wind-power purchase agreement in history.
