Examples of these include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Green bonds,<\/li><li>Social bonds,<\/li><li>Sustainability-linked bonds, and<\/li><li>Certain exchange-traded funds<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But what differentiates these products from one another, and how are they aligned with corporate or government goals that address ESG-related concerns? Moreover, what are the benefits and risks of investing in these types of products?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-green-bonds\"><strong>Green Bonds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Green bonds have become increasingly popular financial instruments, which are intended to finance projects that are designed to benefit the environment, including climate concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatebonds.net\/about\">Climate Bonds Initiative<\/a>, there are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatebonds.net\/market\/explaining-green-bonds\">several types of green bonds<\/a>, including \u201cUse of Proceeds\u201d bonds, which peg their proceeds to fund green projects. These types of bonds are typically backed by the issuer\u2019s balance sheet \u2013 for example, the European Investment Bank\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eib.org\/en\/investor_relations\/cab\/index.htm\">Climate Awareness Bonds<\/a>\u201d are backed by the EIB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also \u201cUse of Proceeds\u201d revenue bonds or asset-backed securities (ABS). Issuers that sell these products typically fund their debt service through the revenue streams generated by these projects, while investors have recourse to their debt through the fees and taxes the issuer collects as collateral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The State of Hawaii, for example, has issued&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitchratings.com\/research\/corporate-finance\/fitch-rates-hawaiian-electric-co-revenue-bonds-a-25-09-2019\">special purpose revenue bonds<\/a>&nbsp;to help achieve its 100% renewable target by 2045. The deal is backed by fees on the state\u2019s utility electric bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other types of green bond issuance include project bonds, where the debt is backed only by the project\u2019s assets and balance sheet, certain covered bonds, as well as certain ABS issuance \u2013 which may be backed by pools of green projects such as solar leases or green mortgages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.icmagroup.org\/\">International Capital Market Association<\/a>&nbsp;(ICMA) oversees and helps to develop the so-called&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.icmagroup.org\/assets\/documents\/Regulatory\/Green-Bonds\/Green-Bonds-Principles-June-2018-270520.pdf\">Green Bond Principles<\/a>, a set of voluntary best practice guidelines first established by a consortium of investment banks in 2014. These guidelines indicate the required transparency, accuracy and integrity of information that issuers will disclose and report to stakeholders, with its four core components comprising:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use of Proceeds,<\/li><li>Process for Project Evaluation and Selection,<\/li><li>Management of Proceeds, and<\/li><li>Reporting<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As these Green Bond Principles do not detail what \u201cgreen\u201d should entail, issuers are typically left to determine its definition. However, categories for green projects generally involve areas such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Energy<\/li><li>Buildings<\/li><li>Transport<\/li><li>Water management<\/li><li>Waste management &amp;&nbsp;pollution control<\/li><li>Nature-based assets, including land use, agriculture and forestry, as well as<\/li><li>Information technology &amp; communications (ICT)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The global focus on climate change, coupled with supportive fiscal and central bank policies for the broader credit markets, appear to have spurred a rise in green bond issuance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moody\u2019s Investors Service, for example, recently observed that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.moodys.com\/research\/Moodys-Sustainable-bond-issuance-hits-record-high-in-Q3-as--PBC_1253782\">green debt types<\/a>&nbsp;are \u201cevolving,\u201d with green capital instruments as one of the \u201cemerging areas to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To date, green bonds have been issued by governments such as Germany, Sweden, and the Republic of Chile, as well as supranational organizations such as the EIB, and the Japan Finance Organization for Municipalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The European Central Bank (ECB) also recently decided to invest in the euro-denominated&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecb.europa.eu\/press\/pr\/date\/2021\/html\/ecb.pr210125~715adb4e2b.en.html\">green bond investment fund<\/a>&nbsp;for central banks introduced by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). With this investment, the ECB contributes, within its mandate, to global efforts to promote environmental objectives \u2013 including the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/clima\/policies\/eu-climate-action\/2030_ctp_en\">EU climate goals<\/a>. Meanwhile, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bis.org\/press\/p210125.htm\">BIS green bond fund<\/a>&nbsp;invests in renewable energy production, energy efficiency and other projects intended to improve environmental conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, on the corporate front,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smfg.co.jp\/english\/sustainability\/materiality\/environment\/procurement\/\">Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation<\/a>&nbsp;touts that it \u201cregularly issues green bonds.\u201d The Japanese bank has allocated most of the proceeds from its sales to wind and solar energy projects in Japan and the UK, as Japan grapples with meeting its&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/~\/media\/mckinsey\/business%20functions\/sustainability\/our%20insights\/meeting%20japans%20paris%20agreement%20targets%20more%20opportunity%20than%20cost\/meeting-japans-paris-agreement-targets.ashx\">Paris Accord goals<\/a>&nbsp;on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
