With more than $200 billion* issued


each year, green bonds are now powering


a full spectrum of global sustainability


initiatives. What was once a niche product


is now providing corporations the capital


to pursue a more diverse range of energy,


housing and agriculture solutions. Green


bonds are expected to continue to offer


investors the opportunity to not only


make a positive environmental and social


impact, but also earn a competitive return.


WHERE WILL GREEN BONDS

TAKE US NEXT?
