Green Finance, Lasting Impact
Drive financial sustainability with bonds backed by natural resources, promoting global conservation and well-being.
Green bonds and resource-backed bonds are financial instruments that enable landowners, forest managers, and mine operators to preserve their value while generating dividends. From forests left intact to mines transformed into financial assets, these bonds are designed to protect the environment while leveraging its economic potential.
In 2021, the issuance of ESG bonds hit a new record of USD 1 trillion, and ESG ETF assets surpassed USD 360 billion, marking a global shift towards responsible and sustainable investments.
What Are Green Bonds?
A green bond is a financial tool designed to finance sustainable projects such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, clean transportation, or natural resource conservation.
Unlike other instruments, green bonds allocate their funds exclusively for environmental purposes.
Example: “A timberland owner can issue a green bond that ensures the ecosystem’s preservation while generating income, incentivizing sustainability.”
Environmental Impact (Key Figures)
One square kilometer of forest generates approximately 1,000 tons of oxygen per year.
A mature tree can absorb the CO2 emitted by a vehicle traveling up to 20,000 km annually.
Social Impact: Environmental conservation creates local jobs, promotes environmental education, and improves the quality of life for surrounding communities.
Highlighted Use Cases
