As the world’s leading banks, issuers and investors convene at the FT Global Bond Summit on 16–17 June, London will once again become a global hub for fixed income, placing sustainable finance and responsible investment at the centre of the conversation.

With a 35-year legacy, deep expertise across SSAs and sustainable debt markets, and five dynamic stages, the agenda delivers a 360° view of global fixed income. A dedicated sustainable finance stage will bring together major issuers, asset owners and investors to address the critical challenges shaping bond markets today, from transition finance and policy alignment to market integrity and impact.

The Summit offers a valuable opportunity to engage directly with peers, clients and policymakers, strengthen strategic partnerships, and help shape the future of sustainable fixed income markets in the UK and globally.
