Newsletter#18 Can Sustainability-Linked Bonds Truly Power Our Path to Net Zero?
Sustainability-linked bonds (SLBs) offer a powerful alternative to green bonds by tying general financing to clear sustainability targets—rewarding success and penalizing failure. After an initial boom, global SLB issuances dipped due to concerns over greenwashing. Yet, a resurgence in credible, science-aligned SLBs—particularly in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America—signals renewed investor trust. High-emitting sectors are embracing SLBs, widening ESG access, while regulators push for transparency and robust verification. Landmark issuances, such as Uruguay’s sovereign SLB and Snam’s Scope 1–3 bond, show growing ambition. If implemented rigorously, SLBs could play a transformative role in global decarbonization efforts. Authenticity and ambition remain key.
