Sustainable investments are needed to transform the economy and to deliver on climate, environmental and social sustainability goals, including the Paris Agreement and more broadly the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Bonds as a major asset class play an integral role to achieve such goals and the market for Green, Social, Sustainability or Sustainability-linked bonds is growing rapidly.
To improve dissemination and awareness of sustainability factors and to facilitate investors’ search, a special flag (see “More filters”) has been introduced in the Bond Explorer that allows to filter either for Green, Social, Sustainability or Sustainability-linked Bonds.
For more information about sustainable bonds, please see SIX’s Sustainable Bonds website as well as SIX’s dedicated presentation about Sustainable Bonds.
