PHILOSOPHY

“Sustainable Finance for Tomorrow” neatly encapsulates what Green Bond Corporation seeks to provide.

Climate change gives rise to events that impact our delicate ecosystems, our daily lives and the lives of future generations.

Climate change response, sustainability, social and humanitarian agendas have increasingly become global priorities.

For instance, 2015 saw the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties (COP21), where 196 countries adopted The Paris Agreement, a legally binding international treaty on climate change that aims to keep global warming to well below 2.0, preferably 1.5, degrees Celsius when compared to pre-industrial levels.

In an equally important global call to action, 2015 also witnessed 193 countries adopt the United Nations (UNs) seventeen 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to address global issues across five critical areas categorised by People; Planet; Prosperity; Peace and Partnership.

Not surprisingly, the global market has come to seek viable investments and initiatives that genuinely prioritise environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards. In recognition of the importance of the next ten years, what is commonly referred to as the ‘decade-of-action’, a dramatic increase in demand projects that prioritise ESG outcomes. This is set to rise substantially as calls for environmentally sustainable and socially equitable practices permeate political, social and economic objectives worldwide.

Consequently, the next ten years must truly become the ‘decade-of-action’ for the funding and delivery of projects that are essential to addressing such critically important issues.

Our goal is therefore a simple one:

To initiate and enable positive change by arranging funding for projects that meet critically important environmental, social and/or humanitarian objectives, leaving a better legacy for all.
