Sustainability co-ordinator's role and responsibilities

"A sustainability coordinator may be variously referred to as a “sustainability structuring agent”, an “ESG structuring agent”, a “sustainability agent”, a “sustainability arranger”, a “green loan coordinator” (in relation to a green loan), a “social loan coordinator” (in relation to a social loan) and/or a “sustainability-linked loan coordinator” (in relation to a sustainability-linked loan).

These titles are often used interchangeably and there is currently no definitive market standard as to the responsibilities which are associated with each of these respective labels..."
