Do you care about the capital market and promoting sustainable investments? Do you have a passion for sustainability and ESG in the capital market, and want to make a difference? Are you passionate about how companies and financial services can contribute to a climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable future?
CDP Latin America is looking for a capital markets specialist to join its regional Capital Markets team to provide a critical contribution to CDP's capital market mission through investor engagement. This is an excellent opportunity to make a global impact on how investors, including asset managers, pension funds, banks and others can respond to the key environmental challenges of climate change and ESG integration.
Who we are
CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) is a global non-profit organization founded in 2000 and headquartered in London. We have pioneered and provided the world's only global natural capital disclosure system, where more than 8,500 companies represent more than 50% of the market capitalization of the world's 30 largest stock exchanges, and 750 cities in 100 countries report, share and take action on vital environmental information.
We operate our global disclosure system on behalf of more than 500 institutional investors representing more than a third of the world's invested capital and more than 150 corporations with $3 trillion in annual purchase spending. The insights it brings allow investors, businesses, cities and governments to understand and act in the case of business to reduce impacts on the environment and natural resources.
