Sustainability-linked products forge path to fully sustainable finance

Volumes of sustainability-linked bonds are predicted to increase during the next year. The model, combined with developing data and disclosures, could help embed sustainability across finance.

Sustainability-linked products could be the key to mainstreaming sustainable finance.

This year has seen an increase in sustainability-linked bonds, and the sustainability-linked loans market continues to grow.

Bloomberg New Energy Finance records 13 sustainability-linked bonds issued up to the end of October this year, along with 103 sustainability-linked loans.

That issuance has continued into November, when LafargeHolcim became the first issuer from the building materials industry to issue a sustainability-linked bond. Mid-month, it launched a €850 million deal tied to CO2 reduction.
