Environmental Sustainability: Green Bonds As A Financing Tool For Businesses

INTRODUCTION

In our previous publication, we had introduced the concept of environmental, social and governance (ESG), and how organisations can leverage on this to attract ESG investments from ESG-conscious investors.

In the wake of the increased consciousness of corporate entities towards their ESG responsibilities, especially on climate change, Green Bonds have been gaining some popularity across the globe as a means of generating finance to fulfil these corporate responsibilities. States and corporate entities over the years have relied on the issuance of green bonds to obtain financing for climate and environmental projects.

In this publication, we define the concept of green bonds and how they serve as a financing tool.
