Green & Social Bond market update
A market has arisen for bond investors looking for opportunities that incorporate environmental, social and sustainability considerations. Green, Social and Sustainability Bonds have evolved out of this demand. Green, Social and Sustainability Bonds are any type of bond instrument where the proceeds will be exclusively applied to eligible environmental and social projects. ICMA’s Green Bond Principles (GBP) and Social Bond Principles (SBP), as well as the Sustainability Bond Guidelines (SBG), referred to as the “Principles” have become the leading framework globally for issuance of green, social and sustainability bonds. Green, Social and Sustainability Bonds are regulated instruments subject to the same capital market and financial regulation as other listed fixed income.
