Green Bonds are fixed-income instruments specifically earmarked to encourage sustainability and to support climate-related or other types of special environmental projects. These bonds are typically asset-linked and backed by the issuer's balance sheet.
The main goal of issuing green bonds is to finance projects that have positive environmental and/or climate benefits. The proceeds from these bonds are typically invested in projects related to renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable waste and water management, sustainable land use, clean transportation, and the retrofitting of infrastructure to climate change.
Organizations can use green bonds to align with their sustainability goals and demonstrate commitment to environmental stewardship. These can help boost reputation and improve a company’s image by showcasing its dedication to positive environmental impacts.
Besides being an important and specific channel of funding for large-scale climate and environmental initiatives, green bonds also attract investors who are looking to invest specifically in environmentally sustainable projects.
