Jason Taylor
\nEMBA 2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Managing Director, Investment Banking, Sustainability Advisory & Finance
\nNational Bank Financial<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What do I do?<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

“I\u2019m responsible for the Sustainable Advisory & Finance\u00a0team<\/strong> at National Bank Financial<\/a> within our investment banking division.<\/p>\n

\n

There isn’t an area of the economy, and by extent, an area of capital markets that climate change and sustainability doesn’t affect.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On the funding side, we structure both traditional green, social, and sustainability bond\/loan transactions, and rapidly growing sustainability-linked debt instruments. On the advisory side, we work with corporations and governments alike to help them better integrate sustainability into their corporate strategy. Simultaneously, we help them design a funding strategy to support their sustainability approach and ESG\u00a0mission. Our day-to-day work is wide and varies based on the type of client we are working with, as well as their sustainability maturity.<\/p>\n

\n

We can work on analyzing green projects (\u2018taxonomy\u2019) for inclusion into green bonds, to advising on ESG and GHG accounting, or the impact of carbon.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The great part about this group, is that we get to work with so many talented teams in a multi-disciplinary way across the capital markets group.”<\/p>\n

My Mission<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

“In my experience, I\u2019ve found people\u2019s desire to do good is innate.<\/p>\n

\n

Finding ways to trigger and empower it is something I find deeply rewarding. Finance alone can\u2019t solve climate change, but it can be a powerful lever to influence change.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Doing it in a way that brings people together to problem-solve and think creatively on ways to design sustainability-efficient solutions is my ultimate mission.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":14361,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,2261774,758135,1132962,3702868,4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14359"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14359"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14359\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14362,"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14359\/revisions\/14362"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
