Sustainability-Linked Bonds: Nascent Opportunities For ESG Investing
Since the creation of green bonds, many new labels have emerged, including social bonds, sustainability bonds, and recently transition bonds, not to mention water, blue or adaptation bonds.

These are ‘use-of-proceeds’ bonds.

Nevertheless, we continue to observe a large imbalance between supply and demand because of the huge appetite from institutional ESG investors. The purpose of this study is then to determine if green bonds present lower yields than conventional bonds in the secondary market. This yield difference is known as the green bond premium or greenium.
